Daniel, Christian -- There seems to be a strong use for Monocle in the case of doing headless testing. I am currently using TestFX, and testing on Jenkins requires having a remote desktop window open to the headless Windows Jenkins slave.
I had started to explore using Monocle with an earlier build of 8u20 and a tweaked version of TestFX, and it was very encouraging. Without it, I have a serious hole in my testing strategy. -- Sean On Mon, Jul 7, 2014 at 12:22 PM, Daniel Blaukopf <daniel.blauk...@oracle.com > wrote: > Hi Christian, > > Monocle is gone for the desktop since it is not a tested configuration > there.
