Monocle in 8u25

Thu Nov 13 21:01:17 UTC 2014

Hi Neil!

>The TestFX library is still moving the Windows mouse!
TestFX is using Awt's robot. This robot ignores Glass/Monocle and controls
the OS's cursor.
We need to replace it with Glass' robot. I already tested it and it works
fine.
PR will be ready soon. This PR will also replace the Awt screenshot
mechanism with the one
from the Glass robot. I hoped that this will also take screenshots wenn
running in headless mode.
But unfortunately the screenshots were empty. I saw in Monocle's source
code, that it writes
color values into an internal byte stream, so it actually should work.

Also very nice to see, that people are using bleeding edge version of
TestFX. :)
TestFX will also have better Spock/Groovy support in the future.
