Yes, as Professor Lee stated, we use non-graphical tests in the
nightly build, see $PTII/doc/coding/testing.htm or
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptII2.0/ptII2.0.1/doc/coding/testing.htm
There are various ways to invoke Ptolemy II:
Bring up the block diagram editor:
$PTII/bin/vergil ptolemy/actor/lib/test/auto/Clock.xml
Bring up just the run control panel:
$PTII/bin/ptolemy ptolemy/actor/lib/test/auto/Clock.xml
Invoke a model without invoking the run control panel
$PTII/bin/ptexecute ptolemy/actor/lib/test/auto/Clock.xml
Note that ptexecute runs actor.gui.PtExecuteApplication and it
might end up invoking swing anyway
Invoke the model without invoking the UI at all
$PTII/bin/ptinvoke ptolemy.actor.gui.MoMLSimpleApplication
ptolemy/actor/lib/test/auto/Clock.xml
The above command line works remotely and does not require Swing.
The above scripts are symbolic links to $PTII/bin/ptinvoke, which is
created by configure from $PTII/bin/ptinvoke.in.
Part of the nightly build is to run non-graphical models. These
models are in the test/auto directories, for example
ptolemy/actor/lib/test/auto
The test suite uses MoMLSimpleApplication to run these tests.
We have tried hard to support non-graphical models. I think that in
Ptolemy II 2.0.1 the, TM domain and Modal Models might not work
without a graphical head.
One issue is that calling swing classes tend to initialize the
graphical display, even if the called class does not actually do
anything on the screen. The way to diagnose this sort of problem
is to add the -verbose command line argument to the java command and
see what classes are loaded when - often a Ptolemy class will be
loaded and the the offending swing class will be loaded.

--------
Is it possible to disable the Ptolemy II's use of the java GUI frame work?
By profiling a run (ptexecute) I found that Ptolemy spends about half of it
s
time in "sun.awt.motif.MToolkit.run" on a x86 Linux box.
It's also annoying that Ptolemy needs X when you run simulations on remote
machines.
Kind regards
