Hi, when trying to run burp in headless mode I get the following error: Error: Could not find or load main class .awt.headless=true Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: /awt/headless=true

Are you adding -Djava.awt.headless=true to your command? (https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/getting-started/launching/command-line) Which version of Java are you using? I have tested this command and it works as expected: java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar burpsuite_pro_v2021.6.2.jar

Yes I am adding -Djava.awt.headless=true, the command looks something like java -jar -Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx4g .\burpsuite_pro.jar Also tested "java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar burpsuite_pro.jar" which throws the same error Java version is 16.0.1

The Java version could be the issue since we have not tested Java 16 support yet. Have you tried using Java 15?

It ran perfectly on CMD, turned out the issue was related to powershell ????‍♀️, thanks a lot
