Hi, Sean,
your assumption about "Windows vs everything else" is not quite correct.
Mac OS X is now officially supported platforms, and we don't want to
fall into the headless mode on that platform if DISPLAY is unset, right?
Thanks,
Artem

Hi all,
I thought the code to check headless property
in src/share/classes/java/awt/GraphicsEnvironment.java is a
little redundant, it checks every platform one by one.
"headless = defaultHeadless =
Boolean.valueOf(("Linux".equals(osName) ||
"SunOS".equals(osName) ||
"FreeBSD".equals(osName) ||
"NetBSD".equals(osName) ||
"OpenBSD".equals(osName)) &&
(System.getenv("DISPLAY") == null));

As java is used on more platforms than officially supported by
openjdk, and so far we can see the only excluded platform is windows. If
this piece of code can be changed to exclude window only, it would be
simpler to port.
I made a webrev for it:

Would anyone like to take a look and give some comments ? Thanks.
