    Description

      Since https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8265031 the minimum mac-os version for JavaFX is increased to 10.12. We pass that minimum version to the compiler.

      With https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8263169 a test is added to check if we are at MacOS 10.12 or above, and if so some code is executed that was not available before 10.12:

       if (@available(macOS 10.12, *)) {...}

      The combination of these 2 patches lead to a crash on 10.11 for any JavaFX application. The compiler seems to ignore the `@available` check if we already pass 10.12 as the minimum version, hence the code that wasn't available on 10.11 is tried to be executed.

      There are a number of other ways to check if we're at 10.12 at runtime, which would prevent this crash.
