Temporarily make Metal the default JavaFX rendering pipeline for macOS

XMLWordPrintable

      JDK-8271024, which implemented the macOS Metal Rendering Pipeline for JavaFX, was integrated into JavaFX 26 build 4.

      The plan of record has always been that for JavaFX 26 the new Metal pipeline will be OFF by default and must be explicitly enabled by setting a system property.

      We are not changing that plan, but to get more testing exposure we intend to make it the default (instead of OpenGL) for approximately 7 weeks (starting with next week's build through the build of 2nd Oct 2025, inclusive) of JavaFX 26.
