I feel your pain. :-)

The only alternative would be for Apple to provide the text color information to the JDK. Good luck with that.
Even if they did, based on my experience, I predict that there would still be bugs with each new major release.
They would be Apple bugs rather than JDK bugs, but that is a small consolation.
