I have looked into the Desktop API implementation in the JDK. They have their
own code to manipulate the Application menu, so I don’t think it will be
possible to get the About and Settings menu items to show up via the Desktop
API. I tried the code you had posted in your last email, but the menu items
remain absent.
I did try out the other Desktop methods in a little JavaFX test app. Calling
them via SwingUtilities.invokeLater works just fine.
So, I think we will need a new, small API in order for JavaFX macOS
applications to be able to integrate into the system like Swing apps can.
I currently have:
Added to ConditionalFeature
/**
* Indicates whether or not the platform supports an OS application menu
About item.

* Currently, only MacOS support this feature.
* @since JavaFX 24.0
*/
ABOUT,
/**

Settings item.
* <p>
* Currently, only MacOS support this feature.
