Well I think this is a broader problem ... jconsole is a sort of second-rank citizen, while it comes in really handy when GUI's are inaccessible or clumsy to tackle. Eg. I might be working in jconsole, but do want plots to work as expected.
Summarised: it would be great to have simple console access to J, without having to use the IDE. Whether or not windows have to pop up could be assessed looking at the $DISPLAY environment variable (or whatever is equivalent in other OS's).
