Hi nc,

It looks to me like the problem is the declaration:

  private static Component DUMMY = null;

in DisplayEvent.java. The construction of a JPanel
for this variable is inside a try {...}, but the
declaration itself is probably triggering the
NoClassDefFoundError.

I don't work much with VisAD anymore, but perhaps this
declaration can be changed to Object, with a cast to
Component in the DisplayEvent.getDisplayComponent().
Of course, the declaration of Component as the return
value of this method may be enough to trigger a
NoClassDefFoundError when a DisplayEvent is constructed.
You or someone would have to experiment with this.

My advice would be to see if you can find some changes
to VisAD so that Java2D offscreen rendering will work
on a system without a display. If you can find simple
changes, perhaps one of the VisAD developers will apply
them to the system.

Good luck,
Bill
