There are some issues with the Glass robot. We need this robot in order to simulate user interactions in headless mode. One problem is, that the Glass robot *(1) requires an JavaFX application* to be set up. TestFX initializes the robots first and then launches the Application. I worked-around this problem, by initializing the Glass robot just before the first user interaction is made. Another problem is, that the Glass robot *(2) requires interactions to be run within the JavaFX thread*. From the integration tests I've wrote it looks that we need to wait for the events in the JavaFX thread to complete for certain interactions, e.g. we need to wait after mouseMove() in order to do mouseClick(). With the AWT robot we only needed to wait for the events triggered by interactions to complete (let's call them post-interaction events). Now it seems that we also need to wait for the interactions itself to complete, which then will also trigger the post-interaction events. I'll need to visualize different interaction events, post-interaction events and the event waiting, and decide when we need to use the semaphore solution we currently use to wait for post-interaction events. Also I thought that events with Platform.runLater() will be processed first-in-first-out, but it seems that this is not the case. Yet, another problem is, that I did not manage to *(3) retrieve screenshot images in headless mode* with the Glass robot. Although it works in normal mode. Maybe the JavaFX event robot can retrieve the screenshots. Interestingly the HeadlessScreen updates it's framebuffer ( https://github.com/TestFX/Monocle/blob/0ab3986f4c/src/main/java/com/sun/glass/ui/monocle/headless/HeadlessScreen.java#L117 ).
