Re: ImageServer without X11?

My answer wasn't really satisfying, so here's a complement.

BufferedImage has been available for a while, but it also requires an X server,
so trying to create a BufferedImage without one will throw an exception.

But it will work with a 1.4 JVM running in Headless mode. The Headless mode
can be activated by adding the parameter "java.awt.headless=true" to the
environment of the JVM, usually with a command-line option.

The documentation of this feature is exceptionnally vague. I quote from this
page: http://java.sun.com/products/java-
media/2D/forDevelopers/java2dfaq.html#bounds

"There's no way to say that a particular API does or doesn't have this problem;
it depends on what particular operations are being invoked, and might also
depend on what the application does with the images that isn't strictly related
to any of the APIs cited above."

So basically, try and see.
