There is a StubToolkit. It is not part of the jar that is shipped with
the JDK. You will need to build JFX and test against your build.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your answer.
Let me ask another question: how would you do headless testing in JFX
7? There's no Monocle, but I was under the impression there's a
StubToolkit?

I would like to see StubToolkit go. Why would you ever want to test
code in a vastly different environment where the threading model
is not
enforced? Why would you want to headless implementations to test
against instead of one?
Having said all that, pragmatic may force us to have two.

QuantumToolkit has a very specific threading model, but this is
not enforced by StubToolkit. StubToolkit is useful for isolated
tests of the upper parts of the JavaFX stack. For a real
application you need to test on a real Toolkit, and headless
Monocle is one way to do that.

possibilities for a new class of automated test, without requiring
us to rewrite existing tests that use StubToolkit.
