JavaFX on headless Jenkins

This was one of my long-standing TODO items: have a “headless” glass that would allow us to run quantum / prism tests headless. However for running scene graph or UI control tests, you should be using the “StubToolkit” instead of QuantumToolkit. The StubToolkit is located in Graphics/src/test, so for using it for 3rd party tests (like JFXtras) you would need to jar up the classes produced during a test run of FX. Then just specify the stub toolkit via -Djavafx.toolkit=com.sun.javafx.pgstub.StubToolkit

Now, longer term I wanted to nuke the StubToolkit. If we had a headless Glass then we could test with Prism/Quantum directly instead of the stubs. But this isn’t straightforward so it hasn’t been attempted yet.

Hope that helps.
