<AWT Dev> Replacement for com.apple.eawt.FullScreen*

[DRC]

I looked at the code that supposedly implements the new behavior
(activating full-screen mode with setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH).)
That code appears unchanged in OpenJDK 11 vs. OpenJDK 9, where it was
introduced.  I don't see how the code could possibly duplicate the
functionality of com.apple.eawt.Application.requestToggleFullScreen().
The com.apple.eawt.Application.requestToggleFullScreen() method hooks
into CPlatformWindow.toggleFullScreen().  The new code implemented in
JDK-8143914 provides additional hooks into
CPlatformWindow.toggleFullScreen(), but they appear to be activated only
if:

1. getRootPane().putClientProperty("apple.awt.fullscreenable", false) is
called and the window is already in full-screen mode, or

2. setResizable(false) is called and the window is already in
full-screen mode.

That does not expose the same functionality to applications as
com.apple.eawt.Application.requestToggleFullScreen().  Even if it did,
it could not replace com.apple.eawt.FullScreenListener, which is needed
in order for applications to be notified when full-screen mode is
activated or deactivated.
