Artem already provided you with a rationale why this is not going
to be supported, which is particularly valid since the mac port project
is part of the official OpenJDK repository.

Note that the fact that is not an official library, doesn't mean it's
not there. You can surely find a way to keep using those extensions,
the Mac guys can even help you with that, but the standard word of
warning that if you use this extensions your programs may break any
time is to be expected.

Cheers,
Mario
