OSGi headless deployment on Linux

I've developed a OSGi application on my windows machine that is just lovely. How ever I need it to run on my Linux server and this is where I run into problems.

My application has no GUI. It simple works with a console and is command line driven.

My first attempt at deployment I built a product based on my existing run target. It exported fine to a Windows .exe so I added the required delta packs for Linux. The problem with this is it has only two options Linux (GTK) and Linux (MOTIF). My linux server runs on CentOS with no GUI as it is a hosted machine so when I try and deploy it I get a segmentation fault.

I have been searching around as to what to do but I'm not coming up with any answers.

Any help would be much appreciated. I have been banging my head on this one for over a week

Cheers

The google keyword you need is 'xvfb' - it acts like an X server, but ignores everything sent to it, so you don't need any graphics hardware. Try firing that up (make sure you set DISPLAY appropriately).

A cleaner solution would be to figure out why the library is demanding an X server if it works without - perhaps you could update the question with more details.
