The environment is Java 11 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with a 3.5" touchscreen. The program writes directly to the framebuffer with the aid of Thomas Welsch's JavaFrameBuffer JNI support.
Things work as expected, except that a blinking cursor appears on the screen after drawing some text. This app uses no input except screen touches, so a cursor is irrelevant and visually disturbing.
How can I get rid of it?
Please note that no Component is present, so there is no setCursor method available.
The problem is that the lack of a component prohibits the easiest way of hiding the cursor with setCursor.
I tried the following in the cmdline.txt:
vt.global_cursor_default=0
(do not forget to reboot ^^)
