Thinkorswim, a options trading application, continues to crash in Ubuntu. I know it is very sensitive to the java used. I am using the openjdk 7 java in Ubuntu 12.04. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!!
Okay, so it works for me with the openJDK:
Download the installer from here. I saved it in /home/username
Open a terminal(CtlAltT) and:
chmod +x /home/username/thinkorswim_installer.sh
cd /home/username
./thinkorswim_installer.sh
echo 'select the installation directory of /home/username/thinkorswim'
echo 'select to install an icon to the desktop'
chmod +x /home/username/Desktop/thinkorswim.desktop
That gets you this:
I can confirm that it also runs properly with the openjdk version 1.7 when installed in this way.
