Interesting question. Frankly, I do not have any experience with headless and do not know what the AWT's behavior is regarding 'paint' calls. The fundamental issue is that Jmol needs a java.awt.Component object and a java.awt.Graphics object. What is the behavior of these things when you are headless? Now that I am writing this, it occurs to me that it would be very easy for you to do this ... assuming that you can write a little Java code. 1) Check out the cvs source code tree using anonymous checkout. 2) Look at samples/integration.java 3) modify this code to allocate a java.awt.image.BufferedImage that is the size of the image you want. 4) call BufferedImage.createGraphics() If you can follow this basic outline then it will work.
