Is there any reason why OpenJDK still sticks to the old API, seeing how the oldest supported Windows version by latest OpenJDK 8 builds is Windows 7? Is there a chance that this such a change will be incorporated to OpenJDK 8, given that I provide a patch?
The reason why the new API is not used is that nobody implemented it in AWT. I think it is fine to push such change to the mainline(currently jdk16), but the OpenJDK8u will be a different story. It is maintained on jdk8u-...@openjdk.java.net and you should ask there about a possible backport of the fix from the mainline to OpenJDK 8u. -- Best regards, Sergey.
