A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
There is currently no way to set whether vsync is used or not.

JUSTIFICATION :
Currently, vsync is always used with a page flipping strategy and never used in blitting strategies.

This behaviour is not always desirable :

Non-vsynced fullscreen page flipping is desirable when you can't quite achieve a framerate equal to the monitor refreshrate (or a simple fraction of it [1/2, 1/3, 1/4 etc])

Vsynced windowed mode blitting is nearly always desirable as tearing in windowed mode is very ugly.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
A simple modifcation to the BufferCapabilities class would be sufficient, so upon BufferStrategy creation you could specify vsync or not.

createBufferStrategy(2, new BufferCapabilities(frontCaps, backCaps, flipContents, isVsynced));

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Without resorting to JNI, (to manually disable fullscreen vsync, or allow the app. to listen for windowed mode vsync) there is no workaround.
