While xvfb can be used to run java without access to the console, it's
not actually using "headless" AWT. It's using a "headed" (?) AWT with a
hidden head ;)

Running AWT headless still requires some X libraries to be installed,
although there does not need to be an actual instance of X Windows
running. (xvfb is an actual X instance running that does not connect to
any physical devices like a keyboard, mouse, or monitor).

The OP's problem might be that some required libraries are necessary to
use headless AWT.

Don, can you post the error message that you are getting?
