On the Mac it's expected that an application can remain active with a menu bar even when there are no windows open. Currently with a JavaFX app the system menu will empty out leaving only the application menu. Scene Builder uses a private API to install some default menus that are shown when all the windows go away. This PR provides a public API that could be used to cover that case as well. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1881#issuecomment-4861041816
