Running it without headless works fine, but that's not always as easily done in an production environment.

Hello I am having a similar issue attempting to run BoneJ in headless mode. Were you able to find a solution?

I don't think I've never been able to run the plugin in the headless mode. Definitely not when I was trying to produce visualisation images. I suspect I used a method that required a display somewhere.
