Hello everyone, I'm another professional Java developer more than
willing to lend a hand if anyone needs it. I also have more than 5
years of Java dev experience, on all levels but mostly involving UI
development, and especially swing...and data vis. :)

Also have a good bit of C++ experience.

I'm curious about two things as I get started on my own Java
project involving IB and their API. First, I think I'm understanding
that you have to have TWS running locally and that the socket client
checkbox must be checked in order to use the API. Is this correct? It
seems it must be true because the API does not offer any login
support.

Second, does anyone have experience using the Linux/UNIX client or
the Linux/UNIX APIs? Love to hear about any potential problems there.

Thanks!
Randy

Correct. When you connect using the API, a dialog box pops up on the
client asking whether you want to accept the connection.

TWS is a Java app, so it is pretty much the same on Linux as
elsewhere. I've had no problems that appeared to be specific to Linux.
