Submitter has shared additional information including a simple test case. "Attached is simple test case, should, return true on MacOS but returns false on problem java versions. The problem is not restricted to 10.15.4 it continues with MacOS 10.15.5 I have now tested with Oracle builds, now it worked okay with11.0.7 , but failed with 14.0.1, and continues to fail with 14.0.2 But interestingly i have now updated to 11.0.8 and it fails on this as well !"

Per description Taskbar.Feature.ICON_BADGE_NUMBER no longer supported on MacOS with AdoptJDK Java 14.0.1, however it worked fine with 11.0.7. Issue is reported with macOS Catalina 10.15.4. We need to know if the issue is restricted to macOS 10.15.4? Also if the issue is reproducible with Oracle JDK versions 11.0.7 and 14.0.1. Written back to the submitter requesting above information and a simple test case to verify this locally.
