[vtkusers] Issues with picking in VTK Java on Mac OS X

[Sebastien Jourdain]

You can look at my commit (b6df993770cfcd9a69a48a2730415a992d698c5b), since
it was handling some retina stuff with Java. That could help you to figure
out which API from Java I used to fixe that issue at some point.

I still have to trigger a build on my mac to see what happen.
