the reason is : JFreeChart

as dashboard generates graphics with JFreeChart, a graphic environnement must exist.

So, it works fine under Windows and no under Unix without X11 window server.

So you can install a X11 window server on your unix machine or generate only a dashboard report as Maven 1 with the "m1LikeRendering" parameter as described in http://mojo.codehaus.org/dashboard-maven-plugin/dashboard-mojo.html

Warning : You won't be able to use the persistance feature because historic's report uses JFreeChart to generate graphics

Best regards

David

Why should a X11 Windows Server be available if the needed jFreeChart libraries are available for building. I think that plugins should work independent and should work on both windows and unix systems. Nowhere in the documentation is mentioned that this plugin doesnot work on a unix environment.

Hi,

as explained in JFreeChart FAQ : http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/faq.html#FAQ10

This is a Java (AWT/Java2D) issue, not something that is specific to JFreeChart. See this page :

http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/2D/reference/faqs/index.html#Q_I_have_an_application_that_rea

If you have not counter indication, I will update the dashboard's documentation regarding this concern and close this issue ?

thanks for the information. I think it is a good idea to add it to documentation. You can close the issue.
