The idea behind JavaFX (and most Java API's) is to provide a platform
independent API, allowing you to write things once and have it run on
all supported platforms. Exposing an API that is only available on one
platform would go against that idea. You either need to do a lot of
hacking to reach the underlying metal API's, or use JavaFX only as an
overlay (having JavaFX run in a transparent child window) while the main
window is accessed directly (also needs some hacking), or use another
framework more suited to your purpose (maybe one of the gaming frameworks).

Hi,
I’m interested in using JavaFX for a app’s UI, but for parts of the UI I want
to use the native OS’s GPU API, to get the maximum possible performance. So on
macOS, for example, I want to render it with Metal and write Metal shaders. Is
this possible, maybe with help from JNI?
