RE: GUI Application
How can I start my applicative using xinit? The JVM from IBM have any constraints with using in a commercial product?

We have one Application running on TouchScreen with Xfree86 without WindowManager. The application was started directly with xinit. In your case you could use JRE1.3 from IBM which is smaller than JRE from sun. But this might be, because sun has additional classes in their JRE. -- Oktay Akbal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Faking out an app that requires a GUI
It seems like a year or two ago I saw some sort of utility mentioned on this mailing list that could be used to "fake out" a text-based app that still needed to have a GUI display available. (Was it that some of the Swing classes wanted the graphical display or something? I can't remember.) I'm not finding this in the archives. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I'll guess that you're thinking of the xvfb (virtual frame buffer) X11 server which allows apps which manipulate fonts and/or images without using a physical display device. It comes up on headless web servers which want to generate dynamic gifs (hit counters) or whatever. The image/font manipulation stuff won't load without an X11 display, so xvfb is used to provide those resources without using an actual device. -- Joi EllisSoftware Engineer Aravox Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried.

Re: Faking out an app that requires a GUI
Are you referring, Jim, to an Expect like feature set for Java. Is there such a set of classes? Perl has an Expect module.

Hmmm Joi's recommendation for xvfb is the right one. The Linux/Unix AWT always expects an X server even if you never create a window. Xvfb is a fully functional X server, but one whose "display" is in memory rather than a physical display device - exactly what you need to run AWT code on a server.
