If this is a GPL violation then it should be mentioned in the documentation that suggests using this method as a solution to a headless setup (see http ://xml.apache.org/cocoon/installing/index.html Tomcat 4.X installation section).
I question that this is a GPL violation since this solution is not "integrated" into Cocoon, but a Java AWT replacement that is specified at runtime. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Crosbie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 9:26 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: starting Xvfb for Cocoon As has been mentioned before (maybe this should go in the FAQ?) you will most likely be violating the GPL if you go this route. The PJA toolkit is released under the GPL and integrating it for use with Cocoon is questionable as GNU does not consider the Apache license to be compatible with the GPL. > -----Original Message----- > From: SANSONE, AARON M [Non-Pharmacia/1000] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 7:27 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: starting Xvfb for Cocoon > > There is another solution to the XVFB problem which we are implementing: > > You can use http: //www.eteks.com/pja/en which is a replacement for the > Java Graphics package.
