Description Viktor Lapitski 2003-01-30 21:57:10 UTC 
Regression.
Jemmy can't be used on displays like "Reflection"
on Windows,
because it always starts awtRobot.

I have a similar problem running on xservers which don't support the
XTEST protocol. In theory I should be able to run in event mode but an
exception is always thrown in the robot driver install.
Comment 2 Alexandre Iline 2003-05-15 19:27:10 UTC 
Correct solution of this problem consist in 
rewriting driver registration procedures. It will be 
done one day, but, from now, it's hard to say when. 
 
Meanwhile, I can propose a simple fix (it's rather a 
temporary solution) which consist in using of "lazy 
initialization" of java.awt.Robot instance inside 
RobotDriver. I've checked - it's working, unless, 
naturally, you use some features which requires 
Robot directly: 
PNGEncoder, image package or drivers for AWT 
components. 
 
Next update will contain the changes.
Comment 3 Alexandre Iline 2003-06-10 22:16:03 UTC 
Changes described in my previous comment done in 
2.2.4
Comment 4 _ mriem 2006-07-20 05:07:53 UTC 
This is issue was fixed in version 2.2.4 of Jemmy. Closing, but if it is 
necessary, please reopen and attach a test case.
