Hi,

I'm trying to get Mauve Contig Mover (MCM) to run from the command line
using the following infrastructure and command:

Infrastructure: mauve_2.3.1 on an x86 64bit linux server (X11 enabled),
accessed via an SSH client from a windows desktop.

Command: java -Xmx500m -cp ~/bin/mauve_2.3.1/Mauve.jar
org.gel.mauve.contigs.ContigOrderer -output 3kb_20_reordered -ref
H063920004_ref_genome.gbk -draft 3kb_20_k41_final.scaffolds.fasta

Initially there was an X11 error "No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but
this program performed an operation which requires it.". 
So I switched to a different SSH client that allows X11 forwarding and
got "Can't connect to X11 window server using 'localhost:10.0' as the
value of the DISPLAY variable."
We solved this by installing Xming (a windows X server
http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/) on the desktop PC and now
MCM runs as expected.
It looks like MCM is trying to initiate a graphical process even though
it's run from the command line...

So what's the problem?...

We want to run MCM as part of a pipeline of tools served through an
online interface. Requiring the integration of X servers on user
desktops is obviously a show stopper.

Questions: Should MCM be invoking a graphical component when run from
the command line? Is there any way of preventing it?

Thanks
