Changing java.awt.headless system property

843798Mar 7 2006 — edited Nov 6 2007

Hello

I am trying to set

java.awt.headless

property to true. However, everytime I try to do this, it brings me back to "usage" of the JAVA command. I am using the following command at the command prompt

$ java.exe "-Djava.awt.headless=true"

I am on a Mac_ OSX and connected through SSH. Following is my system
sw_vers
ProductName: Mac OS X Server
ProductVersion: 10.3.8
BuildVersion: 7U16
----------------------------------
Following is the java version i am using
java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141.4)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode)
----------------------------------

Also is there any command that i can run that would show me whether the

java.awt.headless

property is currently true or false

Would really appreciate some help. Thanks
