Running JavaFX headless without native dependencies

[Tai Hu]

Recently I converted my JavaFX app to run in a headless Ubuntu Server from command line. I could not find a way to completely git rid of native dependencies. But if you could do the following two things, your JavaFX app should be able to run headless.

1. Install the the following lib

apt-get install libswt-gtk-3-java-gcj

2. Make sure the part of JavaFX application runs in the headless environment do not use any methods from Platform object.
