> 
> When running a JavaFX application in macOS guest VM, the main stage is 
> completely blank, with the following errors: CGLChoosePixelFormat error: 
> 10002, CGLCreateContext error: 10002
> This behavior was observed with a macOS 10.15 guest OS on both VMWare player 
> and VirtualBox, on a Windows 10 host.
> 
> This is an old issue that has already been reported several times (notably as 
> JDK-8154852) but is claimed to have been fixed by JDK-8154148.
> However the fix provided by JDK-8154148 is incomplete; while it does fix a 
> JVM crash, it doesn't prevent an incorrect pixel format to be retrieved, 
> which is the root cause for the stage being empty.
> 
> The problematic code is located at #96 in GlassView3D.m:
> 
> 095: CGLError err = CGLChoosePixelFormat(attributes, &pix, &npix);
> 096: if ((err == kCGLNoError) && (npix == 0))
> 097: {
> 098: const CGLPixelFormatAttribute attributes2[] =
> 099: {
> 100: kCGLPFAAllowOfflineRenderers,
> 101: (CGLPixelFormatAttribute)0
> 102: };
> 103: err = CGLChoosePixelFormat(attributes2, &pix, &npix);
> 104: }

> In a comment in JDK-8154148, the following claim is made: "[...] an error 
> happens is when something bad or invalid has occurred. An unsatisfied pixel 
> format request is indicated by npix is 0 and pix is NULL. Hence I feel it is 
> a cleaner and clearer logic to request a different format when npix is 0 and 
> err is kCGLNoError."

> From what I could observe, this is not necessarily true; in this case where a 
> pixel format satisfying the initial conditions could not be found, the return 
> code is kCGLBadPixelFormat (10002); which means we don't try to get a pixel 
> format with less restrictive condition.
> This suggests that a better condition for the second call to 
> CGLChoosePixelFormat (line #103) should be "if (pix == NULL)" instead of "if 
> ((err == kCGLNoError) && (npix == 0))"
> This is further supported by a sample in Apple developer's documentation on 
> how to choose a pixel format: 
> https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/OpenGL-MacProgGuide/opengl_pixelformats/opengl_pixelformats.html
