Right so it’s present in all shipping versions of Java back to at least 8, and the reproduction case works fine on Sonoma pre-14.4. Ergo, Apple changed something in 14.4 (a minor patch release), and it broke something in Java. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

It’s possible that Java was doing something very weird, maybe undocumented/unsupported; but it’s not clear how this is anything other than Apple making a change (which I don’t see documented in their release notes) and breaking users.

Yes, pre 14.4 (14.3.1 to be exact) but NOT early access of macos. The whole thread and Oracle's blogpost is about that it "suddenly broke but it was still working in a preview release of macos".

Java DOES work with an EA version of Java according to the bugtrackers.

Oracle's PM doesn't know what's going on and is mixing things up.
