I want to disable hardware acceleration for my JAVAFX app because there is no HW acceleration on my system (mac). So when there is no HW acceleration I am getting fatal error on executing my JAVAFX App. The error related to "Prism Engine pipeline" and it happen when java trying to execute openGL native libs. So i want to disable the prism.
I see there is some vm args that control prism behavior like.. Dprism.forceGPU=true;
Is there anything like above to disable prism or openGL requesting?
The Fatal error (openGl related codes)

For Java 8 and on, use the software emulation pipeline rather than the DirectX 2D pipeline by adding the following argument when launching the JVM:
-Dprism.order=sw
For Java 7 and earlier, an Oracle forum message (no longer available) suggested adding:
-Dprism.order=j2d
Note that JDK-8095989 has deprecated this j2d solution.
