As noted in this message [1] sent to the jdk-dev mailing list, Oracle
will stop maintaining the macOS/x64 port as of JDK 27 and will not
release JDK 27 for macOS/x64. Apple is phasing out its support for x64.
Similarly, Oracle will not release JavaFX 27 for macOS/x64. Other
vendors may (or may not) choose to continue to release macOS/x64 binaries.
There will be no change in any of the build scripts. Also, our GitHub
Actions (GHA) sanity test builds will continue to run on macOS/x64 in
addition to macOS/aarch64 until macOS 15 goes out of support. Microsoft
has announced that the GHA macos-15-intel runner will be the last one to
support macOS/x64, so I filed JDK-8377375 [2] to remove the macOS / x64
build from our GHA script at that time (probably September 2027).
