Rendering without a windowing system

Dolda2000
Dear forum,

Is it possible to direct JOGL to render to a buffer completely in software without any windowing system installed, like on a headless server? Like OSMesa, for instance.

No, but pbuffer would be available, if your headless GL impl. supports it.

If you dare to add OSMesa support to JOGL and test it w/ unit tests,
feel welcome.

I see. I will consider that, then.
