Like Velo said, this is an Adobe compiler setting so that the
underlying Java compiler will run in headless mode, so this needs to
be true for compilation to succeed on a headless machine. It doesn't
affect runtime.

However, the flashplayer cannot be run on a headless machine. Hudson
has a plugin called the Xvnc plugin that will create a virtual window
system so the flashplayer can run. We use it with Flexmojos 2.0.3 all
of the time. However, I have not tried it with the new Flexmojos 3.x
xvfb runner to see if they conflict. Does anyone else have the Hudson
Xvnc plugin working with Flexmojos 3.x?

The other option is to install and configure xvfb on your Linux box.
Flexmojos provides support for running the flashplayer under xvfb, but
it cannot install or configure it for your Linux box for you. You will
have to do that yourself. If you don't have a Linux system
administrator, then Velo was suggesting you find a Linux user group or
mailing list (or xvfb mailing list) and see if someone can help you
get it installed and configured (or perhaps someone else on this list
can provide good instructions). Once it is installed and
configured--you can run flashplayer from the command line w/o
Flexmojos on the headless server--then Flexmojos will use it just
fine.
