JavaFX on headless Jenkins

[Tom Eugelink]

Nope, Xvfb has the same problem...

But I can start both the xvnc and Xvfb manually as user Jenkins, for example Xvfb:

/jenkins at leah:~$ /usr/bin/Xvfb :2 -screen 0 1024x768x24 -fbdir /tmp//
//SELinux: Disabled on system, not enabling in X server//
//[dix] Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic, removing from list!/

Then I need to ^C to terminate Xvfb.
But it does seem that your Travis environments indeed has run the tests:
https://travis-ci.org/JFXtras/jfxtras-labs/builds/15810910

So the question is: how did Travis do that (since both approaches are identical)? One thing I notice is that it starts Xfvb as a service, not as an application.
sh -e /etc/init.d/xvfb start

But that script is not available on my Linux after installing Xvfb...
