do you have 'x11' in your DISTRO_FEATURES as well as PACKAGECONFIG for
openjdk ? if not then it wont enable this support

may be you can add a little bbappend in your layer to add x11 to
PACKAGECONFIG or via local.conf

PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-openjdk = " x11"

Thanks for the response. x11 is in the distro but I’ve had no luck in getting openjdk to honour x11 as a build option. 
I’ve tried your suggestion (but the build failed) and setting EXTRA_OECONF += “ —with-x —disable-headless “
The EXTRA_OECONF options appear in log.do_configure but they seem to be overridden by later options which disable headful.
It seems I need to somehow remove the “—disable-headful” option that is baked into openjdk somewhere but my attempts have failed.

Any other suggestions or guidance are welcome.
