Wade, how can it impact Swing applications?

A long time ago, there was some bit of code in JOGL that used a function of AWT in a worker thread, which violated the Mac rule that AWT has to be on the main thread. Using the headless option fixed that problem on the Mac (which didn't show up on Windows or Linux). But maybe this is not needed anymore, I'll have to check my own apps now :)
