Bug 264356: java/openjdk17:  Exception with multi-screen setup
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=264356



--- Description ---
Starting in OpenJDK 17 (tested on FreeBSD), a call to
java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment() will cause a
program to throw java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError if run on a
screen that is not the first screen, i.e., :3.0.

I am unsure how good the attached fix is, but it does prevent the crash.
Basically, the variable screens is null when run on another screen such
as :3.1.  As the only thing needed is the number of screens, I switched
it to use the already defined numScreens.

It is easy to duplicate using xephyr:
Xephyr :3 -screen 800x600 -screen 800x600

Running the attached java program on screen :3.0 will work.
Running it on screen :3.1 throws an exception:
