Guys, Using java 1.4 you can set the system property java.awt.Headless=true to allow you to use much, but not all, of AWT in a headless system.
I can't remember what doesn't work, I know it's things that aren't appropriate to a headless system like Component and its sub-classes, but awt.Image and all that related drawing functionality works, and so it should. Be warned though, the actual quality of images drawn, particularly font rendering, is noticably not as good, and if you are serious about using graphics contexts there is really no substitute for using a native context, i.e. X on *nix. d. > -----Original Message----- > From: Oki DZ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 20 June 2003 02:29 > To: James Users List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Matchers & X Window > > > On Thu, Jun 19, 2003 at 09:28:46AM +0100, Steve Brewin wrote: > > Running on Solaris right? > > I'm running Linux. > > > The Solaris implementation of AWT requires a > > display device and by default uses DISPLAY 0:0.
