#11 headless install

[Paul Malone]

Hi,
I have downloaded the ExEInstaller jar and would like
to install it on a remote server via a xterm.
Unfortunately i cannot install the servent software in
a headless manner... i get the following error:

Loading self extractor...
java.awt.HeadlessException:
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program
performed an operation which requires it.

java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.checkHeadless(GraphicsEnvironment.java:159)

at javax.swing.JFrame.<init>(JFrame.java:150)
at
org.tp23.antinstaller.selfextract.ProgressIndicator.<init>(Unknown
Source)

OK i can think of a way around this but it involves me
installing cygwin/X or something similar, but that
seems crazy to me.

Is there a way of running the install in a headless
manner? I expect it is common for software of this type
to be installed on remote unix machines...

Thanks
Paul

You could extract the contents from the jar file - the
servent install files are in the root of the archive under
servent-0.2.0
