Hello!
I'm trying to port a Java-application, which sometimes needs to process
(get dimensions, possibly -- resize) a few images. Whenever it does
this, it needs a valid $DISPLAY in the environment, otherwise an
exception like this is thrown:
|java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using
':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

Apparently, the first thing AWT is doing is initialize X11 -- even if it
is not going to need X11 for anything... This makes the program (almost)
unusable as a daemon...
I wonder if it is possible to a) make AWT a little smarter in this
regard -- even if only on FreeBSD; or b) do image-processing in Java
using some other classes?..
Thanks! Yours,
-mi
