JDK 7
7u101 b01Fixed
Description
Reproducible: always
Testsuite name: FXSamples manual
Product(s) tested: JDK7u95b09 (64bit)
Platform-specific: yes
OS/architecture: Mac10.11

Steps to reproduce:  Try to execute Ensemble.jar or other fx GUI application.
Expected result: application started.
Actual result: Application fails with a headless-mode related text.

Same for -Xint and software rendering mode.
Suprisingly, BrickBreaker still works.  Looks like, sometimes application could be launched.
Comments
Safe fix. SQE OK to take it in 7u95.

Attached a simple test program that reproduces the bug. I confirmed the bug on my OS X 10.11.1 system.

In progress flip - under investigation.

adding to tony's update, reproduce the issue on 10.11 Looks like its only reproducible on 10.11 and with earlier release of 7u. Not reproducible on 8u. There are significant differences between both codes.

fx sample was done in 7u85 b15 using 10.11 beta, we did not see the issues. (Now we upgraded all to GA and has no beta image). We found this major issue in 7u95 b09 on 10.11 GA and tried 7u85 b15 already , all failed. Another point is that there is no issue on 10.10 for both two builds. We do not think this is a regression.

The failure is caused by the following: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.t2k.MacFontFinder.initPSFontNameToPathMap(MacFontFinder.java:339) at com.sun.t2k.MacFontFinder.getFontNamesOfFontFamily(MacFontFinder.java:390) at com.sun.t2k.T2KFontFactory.getFontResource(T2KFontFactory.java:233) at com.sun.t2k.LogicalFont.getSlot0Resource(LogicalFont.java:184) at com.sun.t2k.LogicalFont.getSlotResource(LogicalFont.java:228) at com.sun.t2k.CompositeStrike.getStrikeSlot(CompositeStrike.java:86) at com.sun.t2k.CompositeStrike.getMetrics(CompositeStrike.java:132) at com.sun.javafx.font.PrismFontUtils.getFontMetrics(PrismFontUtils.java:31) at com.sun.javafx.font.PrismFontLoader.getFontMetrics(PrismFontLoader.java:466) at javafx.scene.text.Text.<init>(Text.java:153) at javafx.scene.text.Text.<init>(Text.java:162) at ensemble.config.ProxyDialog.<init>(ProxyDialog.java:90) at ensemble.Ensemble2.start(Ensemble2.java:284) at com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl$5.run(LauncherImpl.java:319) at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl$5.run(PlatformImpl.java:219) at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl$4$1.run(PlatformImpl.java:182) at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl$4$1.run(PlatformImpl.java:179) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl$4.run(PlatformImpl.java:179) at com.sun.glass.ui.InvokeLaterDispatcher$Future.run(InvokeLaterDispatcher.java:76)

Initial assignment. Review and resolve to follow
24-11-2015
The part of Sample cases that need to run Ensemble.jar. so all cases can not be ran, like tests/samples/Ensemble_01_Toolbar.html, tests/samples/Ensemble_04_Chart_Area.html and so on.

Confirmed. Looks like FX2 is totally broken on MacOS 10.11.
