The standard way to solve this problem is not to reinvent all of the Java/AWT,
but to simply provide a virtual X server.
"Xvfb" is the "X virtual frame buffer". It is an X-server for running
on server machines that have no display hardware, and it is useful in just
these sort of situations.

I installed this on my RedHat Linux server with the following command (as
root).
rpm -Uvh
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/redhat-5.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/XFree86-Xvfb-3.3.
2.3-25.i386.rpm

P.S. In case you are lacking X11 altogether, on my Linux box, I found a
suitable
FTP server and installed a bunch of X packages like so.
(However, these FTP servers get reorganized periodically, so they may not
still work perfectly as shown.)
