I tested this build with our application on macOS 15.2 ARM and it worked
perfectly fine. There were a few small color differences looking at it,
but I see in the tracker that is already a known issue. Our application
doesn't use any advanced rendering features where performance is
critical, so I can't say anything about the performance difference. For
the normal basic user interface, it felt the same as before.

Hello openjfx-dev,
The first Early Access(EA) build of JavaFX with the macOS Metal
rendering pipeline is now available
at:https://jdk.java.net/javafxmetal <https://jdk.java.net/javafxmetal>
Please test this bundle and share your feedback by:
- emailingjfx-...@openjdk.java.net <mailto:jfx-...@openjdk.java.net>or
- reporting issues via JBS[https://bugs.openjdk.org/
<https://bugs.openjdk.org/>] or athttps://bugreport.java.com
<https://bugreport.java.com>
This is the first EA release and some work is still in progress, so
you may encounter issues.
Known issues and pending tasks are captured on JBS and can be accessed
using the filter provided on the Metal EA
page[https://jdk.java.net/javafxmetal <https://jdk.java.net/javafxmetal>].
Before reporting a new bug, please review the existing issues to avoid
duplicates.
Important Notes:
1. This is a macOS-specific feature, so only two macOS-specific
bundles are provided.
2. The default rendering pipeline is set to Metal. Using other
pipelines (e.g., -Dprism.order=es2 or -Dprism.order=sw) will result in
error.
3. It is recommended to use JDK 24 or later.
4. Optionally, enable Metal validations while testing, e.g.: export
METAL_DEVICE_WRAPPER_TYPE=1, export METAL_SHADER_VALIDATION=1
5. Must disable all the active Metal validations when testing for
performance, e.g.: export METAL_DEVICE_WRAPPER_TYPE=0, export
METAL_SHADER_VALIDATION=0
6. Issue behavior may vary across different hardware. So, please
provide detailed information, such as the output of "java
-Dprism.verbose=true", when reporting or discussing issues.
7. Refer: Run HelloWorld using JavaFX
SDK[https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#install-javafx
<https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#install-javafx>]
We look forward to your feedback.
Regards,
Ambarish
