Eclipse Neon icon size in Ubuntu 16.04 hidpi
I have read that Eclipse Neon has now support for hidpi but icons are extremely small when using a hidpi notebook in Ubuntu 16.04.
Is there any command line argument or environment variable that I have to set so it works?

At least in my case (ASUS UX303UB, Eclipse Neon 4.6.0RC1, Ubuntu 16.04), it was possible to get proper icons by adding:
-Dswt.autoScale=175
at the end of $ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse.ini

This indeed helped (with neon.3), but when I needed the scale back at 100% changing the mentioned parameter to 100 didn't help. Nor did adding-Dswt.enable.autoScale=false. Any suggestions?

OK, I figured it out. It was the automatically created~/.local/share/applications/eclipse.desktopafter I pinned the running upscaled eclipse to the Unity launcher. It contained all theeclipse.iniparameters in theExec=action. Changing this just toeclipseor running eclipse from the command line normally worked.

-Dswt.autoScale=exact
worked for me. It apparently used my Gnome Tweak Tool font scaling setting of 1.35 The autoScale options are explained at Tweaking SWT's auto-scaling

For me the following worked:
GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5 GDK_SCALE=2 eclipse
Setting GDK_SCALE to 2 alone fixed the icon size but made all text huge. I had to set GDK_DPI_SCALE to 0.5 counter the effect on the font size.
