during the ebuild a Java application is running that requests the presence |
| 24 |
of X. So you're either on a machine without X or your JDK has no X support. |
| 25 |
E.g. the icedtea variants have a flag 'headless-awt' wich turns off X suport |
| 26 |
if active (and the name and meaning of the flag recently changed from 'X'). |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
As another alternative you may try to fix the ebuild by running the java |
| 29 |
application in question with system property "-Djava.headless.awt=true". |
| 30 |
This can succeed if the application just initializes AWT, but does not use |
| 31 |
it to display something. |
