I managed to run Monocle/Headless on Windows with 8u25. This will allow
users to run headless tests.
All what is needed is to copy all files from "com/sun/glass/ui/monocle" of
"javafx-src.zip" and add the
cursor resource files from
"modules/graphics/src/main/resources/com/sun/glass/ui/monocle" of the
related hg tag in the OpenJFX repository [1].
Before Application#launch() is called we need to manually set the Glass and
Monocle platforms:
accessStaticField(com.sun.glass.ui.PlatformFactory.class, "instance",
new com.sun.glass.ui.monocle.MonoclePlatformFactory());
accessStaticField(com.sun.glass.ui.monocle.NativePlatformFactory.class,
"platform",
new com.sun.glass.ui.monocle.headless.HeadlessPlatform());
The directory structure in 8u40 is a bit different, but there could be
added version checks. Checking
for the JVM vars "glass.platform" and "monocle.platform" might be also
added to this code.
