A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
GlassViewDelegate.m contains an API usage bug that is detected by the macOS Ventura SDK, causing a fatal crash at startup for all JavaFX apps, but only if the process is targeting SDK 13 or above. This won't normally happen because OpenJDK builds etc are compiled on older versions of macOS but at some point, someone will compile their own JDK on Ventura and be puzzled by this problem.
The bug is that before a tracking rect is established in GlassViewDelegate NSView::removeTrackingRect is always called, even if no tracking rect has previously been created. Therefore an initialized-to-zero tracking handle is passed on, which pre-Ventura was accepted but Ventura detects as an error. The fix is simple enough: don't call removeTrackingRect if the rect handle is zero.
To reproduce this bug there are two approaches:
1. The obvious way: compile an OpenJDK from scratch on macOS Ventura.
2. The smart way: grab an existing JDK and use the 'vtool' command to edit the Mach-O version header that contains what SDK version the binary targets. This header is what controls the extra assertions.
How to do it with vtool:
cd $JAVA_HOME/bin
vtool -set-version-min macos 10.12 13 -output ./java ./java
codesign --remove-signature ./java
Now try running any JavaFX app and you'll get the following crash:
2022-11-15 16:49:22.238 java[49927:2091228] *** Assertion failure in -[_NSTrackingAreaAKViewHelper removeTrackingRect:], _NSTrackingAreaAKManager.m:1585
