I was looking for a solution to this issue and came across your post. Having the same issue with the same OS. Java should scale automatically depending on OS display settings, but only if the app uses GTK+ 3. Apps using Java2D and AWT most likely bypass OS drawing routines and hence do not scale. Not sure what BS uses, but if it is Java2D or AWT this might not be easily solved...
