We are currently using XmlEditor v5.6 for our manual, but since a recent

great help.


Note that XMLmind XML Editor v6.4 still does not work really well on Retina Mac (though less badly that what you have described).

It's not an Apple Java problem at all. It's entirely our fault.

The goods news is that XMLmind XML Editor v6.5, which should be released in a couple of weeks, is the first version which supports high resolutions screens on the Mac (and on Windows too).

This version is also the first one to have been tested on Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan (and on Windows 10 too).

Also please keep in mind that "legacy java which Apple don’t bother to finetune" is still the best choice for a Mac. However make sure to install the very latest version on your Mac:

Java for OS X 2015-001

Note that XMLmind XML Editor v6.5 works fine using bundled Oracle Java 1.8.0_60. However, Apple Java 1.6 is still less buggy (we had to workaround several Oracle Java 1.8 bugs) and has a better font rendering on non-Retina screens.
