The relevant Apple dev doc is here:

Essentially it involves setting flags on the GL pixel format. Then you can
receive a callback from the OS either via NSOpenGLView or an old C style
callback which tells you that the active GPU
As a temporary solution you can use gxfCardStatus and block automatic
activation of discrete GPU.
When I was looking to this area last time(on the jdk side), I found that
the simple CAOpenGLLayer application activate discrete GPU also, and we
have no ability to change that. Probably something ch
I'm not an expert on how to use OpenGL on Mac to avoid the discrete
grahpics, but I do know that the retina support in the SW pipeline on
the Mac should be addressed soon in 8u60 as a result of fixing RT-27960.
The fix has been pushed to 8u-dev (and 9-dev) and is awaiting a sync

Yes, I appreciate that the "magic flag" in the Info.plist would just be a
signal to do something tricky.
I tried setting -Dprism.order=sw in the Info.plist, thinking that would
trick things into not requiring the discrete GPU, but all that happened
when I did that was that I ended up with a pixel-d
I believe the tricky part is not setting the magic flag in your Info.plist
file but rather handling the GL context changes on the fly. It
requires/would require some code in the Mac GL specific part of JavaFX.
Otherwise if you force it to integrated then some other app causes a switch
to discrete,
