AWT Headless Exception with ImageJ.

[BiologyTools]

I'm trying to run ImageJ (ij.jar) using IKVM 8.8.1 but whenever I try to launch ImageJ I get the following error even when I set ImageJ to launch in headless mode or in normal mode.

using ij;
namespace FijiTest
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1(string[] args)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            var ijp = new ImageJ();
        }
    }
}

Here is the error I get.

java.awt.HeadlessException
  HResult=0x80131500

ImageJTest.zip

I've attached a project which replicates the error.

@GeorgeS2019 Following your instructions using the develop branch I got ImageJ to run. However the buttons don't show up and instead show Chinese letters. Which is just a language issue so everything works thanks!

[GeorgeS2019]

This is something yet to be addressed. It seems to only happen in Windows and not linux. You may need to check that.

Looks like that might be a Unicode issue (32 bits Linux vs 16 bits on windows), errors on size or alignment in unicode often fall into chinese characters (there are so many more than Latin alphabets)

(I apologize for the drive by comment)

How to solve

@xela-trawets @GeorgeS2019 The encoding issue has already been solved at least on my Windows 11 machine ImageJ starts up normally.
