Wooou! Tyvm for wise advice!
In case this will be needed, will it be possible to apply this patch for 
icedtea-web head? If no - then only for tests running?

What I want to is to enable reprodcures with gui, yes. But not complex 
applications.  For lunching comlex applications we are thinking little 
bit outside of junit sandbox, but it is in early stage of planing.

Will be probably needed. We can already now launch reproducers with gui, 
we can also run browsers (extension to this topic is coming) we can read 
the stdout/err of their runs, and we can generate quite useful outputs. 
but we cannot examine gui and we can not affect it. Awt robot should be 
more then helpful.

Whole concept is working very well and I think this can just enrich it. 
The jnlp reprodcures are working quite well (Although I found nasty bug 
today inside the engine:-/), In-browser tests as I have designed them 
last week are also working very well. Do yo think it is really bad idea 
to include some more capacity by adding awt.robot in some future?

Bets regards and thank you very much for help with rendering device!
