Re: Anyone upgraded Java version for TWS on Linux?
|
Hi, I believe TWS comes with its own Java built into the installer.? I'm pretty sure I use that one.? TWS has never been the best written app but if you stick with stable its OK.? I believe there are some weird security things built into IB's JVM they distribute which is why you can't make a stock JVM work.? I think if you dig into the IB JVM, you will probably find some security configs in the jre/lib directory (or inside of one of its sub-directories) that allow TWS to work.? Perhaps jre/lib/security/java.policy has been altered to only run IB signed jars or that TWS needs a custom Java security policy.? If you really want to hammer away at this that's where I would look.? As for the performance issues with TWS, perhaps the screen config you have is too busy or perhaps its using up all the pacing capacity and that's causing issues with refreshing the screen.? I have a hard time believing that upgrading the JVM would help.? The Java 8 JVM is really mature and the changes to it are mostly about very minor things that probably wouldn't impact the performance of a GUI app. Hunter

No such luck for me - I let that error dialog sit and nothing happens; just sits there forever (rest of TWS will not start up). I'd like to run TWS on my local Linux laptop, so hopefully someone else comments on this thread with some additional suggestions. Correction to original message: I'm running Linux Mint 20.
