Yes, as Professor Lee stated, we use non-graphical tests in the
nightly build, see $PTII/doc/coding/testing.htm or

There are various ways to invoke Ptolemy II:
Bring up the block diagram editor:
$PTII/bin/ve
Our entire test suite runs on a headless machine with no GUI,
so in fact, if you don't use actors that use the GUI, then
you should not get any use of the GUI framework...
It would be nice to be able to turn off the GUI framework
even when you do use actors with GUI facilities. I'm not sure
how
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 its
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.
