iText doesn't contain any headless.awt.* class. It looks like the iText
code was copied and modified the turn the 'import java.awt.*' statements
into 'import headless.awt.*'. I guess as some point they copied and
relocated the java.awt classes to disable the exceptions on systems
without a display. Since Java 1.4 this can be avoided by setting the
java.awt.headless property to true.

I think you have two options:
1. remove the iText source files from the LibrarySource directory and
use the libitext1-java package instead
2. if it doesn't work because the itext code was further modified, patch
it and replace 'headless.awt' with 'java.awt'
