JavaFx in headless mode

Question

Is it possible to run JavaFx in headless mode(in Java 7)? It is being used to generate images on the server but is asking for an X-Server. Does there exist something like ja

Answer 1

If you have the source code of the JavaFX application you could also try to use TestFX run the application in a headless mode, to control it and to make screenshots. To run your TestFX application in headless mode you have to start it with the following JVM parameters (to enable Monocle):

-Dtestfx.robot=glass -Dglass.platform=Monocle -Dmonocle.platform=Headless -Dprism.order=sw

Moreover you might need to install Monocle first. See Headless testing with JavaFx and TestFx for more information.
