> After spending a year in the sandbox repository, the Headless Platform is now ready to be reviewed in the main repository.
>
> ### the Headless Platform
> The Headless Platform is a top-level com.sun.glass.ui platform that replaces the second-level Monocle-Headless subplatform, that is part of the top-level Monocle platform.
> The platform can be used like any other platform, especially for running headless JavaFX applications, or for running tests (e.g. on CI systems)
>
> ### changes
> The code for the Headless Platform is in a new package com.sun.glass.ui.headless in the javafx.graphics module, and it does not require a code change in other packages.
> This PR adds a simple change in the `build.gradle` file, to make the Headless Platform the standard when running headless tests (instead of using Monocle/Headless)
>
> ### enable the Headless Platform
> Setting the system property `glass.platform` to `Headless` will select the Headless Platform instead of the default one (either gtk, mac or win).
>
> ### testing
> `gradlew --info -PHEADLESS_TEST=true -PFULL_TEST=true :systemTests:cleanTest :systemTests:test`
> runs all the system tests, apart from the robot tests. There are 2 failing tests, but there are valid reasons for those to fail.
>
> ### robot tests
> Most of the robot tests are working on headless as well. add `-PUSE_ROBOT` to test those.
