Aleksey Yeschenko updated CASSANDRA-5611:
-----------------------------------------

    Description: 
"Even when a Java program doesn't display any windows or other visible 
elements, if it accesses the AWT subsystem in some way (e.g., to do image 
processing internally), OS X will still put an icon for the Java program in the 
dock as if it were a GUI-based app. (When the program quits, the dock icon goes 
away as usual.)"

(more details at http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20071208235352641)

Can't remember when it started happening, but it wasn't always the case for 
Cassandra. Now launching Cassandra puts an icon in the dock, and, worse, 
running ant test puts an icon in the dock for each test, stealing focus, too. 
This is extremely annoying.

I ninja-d a workaround (-Djava.awt.headless=true) for ant test in 
99824496aa359fcbe5e71f4e54f2738f09524a87, but we should try and find the real 
source of this (my guess is that some dependency of ours is to blame).
