I found there are actually two copies of the list but the second one seems to have never listed it. Perhaps there is a disconnect somewhere but its not very clear to me.

I have just examined the (closed) source file that enumerates the secure properties and
I clearly see "apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar" along with all the rest.

This is current 8u-dev source and the file hasn't been updated in a year ..

I don't think it duplicates JDK-8074668 because Java Console message is different and clearly reveals property is considered insecure.

Additional information that may help:

For previous versions of Java, if you include the property apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar for a different OS, such as Windows OS, Java Console gives similar message, property considered insecure

-I think that's always been correct behavior because the property is only useful to Mac OS X

For previous versions of Java, menus will be missing on Mac OS X if you omit the property apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar

-Because property enables menus, leaving it out or ignoring the property takes away those menus.

Hello,
Looks like this is a duplicate of https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8074668 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8074668>
It should be fixed in 8u40b27

    I recently opened a report with Oracle for what I believe may be
    the same issue. It may impact many existing Mac OS X applications
    so should be considered seriously.

    apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar no longer treated as secure for Mac OS X
