fix(mac): turn on legacy mode for Java apps
Relates to #3935.
This switches Java apps into legacy mode. However, Java itself will need
patching to support Keyman, as it makes assumptions about input methods,
including matching specific input methods by name, before enabling its
complex text support.
I am in process of submitting a bug report and may try and submit a
patch (although the process seems a little convoluted). It requires a
change to a single file, AWTView.m, with the following diff (against
JDK 16.0):
