OK. FWIW, proper headless support, along the lines of AWT's headless mode, would be a very useful enhancement to JavaFX. I suspect that Monocle, at least in its current form, is not entirely suitable, at least not without some refactoring.

Thanks.  I'm working with Gluon (commercially) to see if changing that moving forward is possible, I'll focus my energy over there.

    For desktop platforms, Monocle is only used as a testing

    isn't really suitable for proper headless support (as I guess you
    noticed), and isn't shipped on desktop platforms with the release.
