because if you rename or delete it, there isn't any change in behavior,
which sounds like a bug.
headless/libmawt.so is not used when running in headless mode with
CToolkit. Have you tried forcing XToolkit? That is
AWT_TOOLKIT=XToolkit java -Djava.awt.headless=true AppName
?
So, what exactly is the function of the stub library? Is it to allow
some functions of awt to work that don't require a real display?
headless/libmawt.so contains all the native code that is expected to
work in headless mode, e.g. printing or image manipulation.
In any case, I don't see why Mac should be different from Solaris or
Linux in this respect.

* In 8 it has a different name, but it'll be built on Mac as well in 8.

On windows headless is simply a state.
But Solaris/Linux have "true" headless builds where there are headless
(stub) versions of UI libraries.
And I think that headless is a valid JCK mode .. you can pass JCK in
headless
on platforms that don't support UI. But I'd check the JCK guys on that
one,
don't take my word for it.

Is the use of HEADLESS in gcc.make (linux and bsd) an archaeological

Is there any reason to not build a headless version of awt? (ie modify
BUILD_HEADLESS to not be defined.)
It seeems like headless is not currently built on bsd/macosx/windows,
but it is built on solaris and linux?

Fredrik,
It's being built on macosx as well.
