what java are you running with tws?

i found that the latest java (6 update 20) causes tws to have problems launching a web browser. ie, if you select "view statements" or "account management", nothing happens. i downgraded to java 6 update 1 and it's working ok now. does anyone know the newest java that will work with tws?

TWS even works with java 5. Why upgrade?

some versions of java 5 had issues with tws. i could reproduce a bug with tws using java 5 update X. besides, java 6 should be more secure.
 
TWS runs outside security restrictions in java anyway. I hope you have a local TWS installation and keep java disabled in a web browser at all times.
 
I'm running latest tws and java 1.6 20 and note that I have the same issue. However I'm going to stick with 20 - the important stuff seems fine.

kiwi, do you prefer 20 for security or performance reasons?

Thanks.
 
I went to 20 because the release notes suggested enhanced performance and I've not yet found following java releases (I tend to install a couple of weeks after release) to be risky.

But I don't launch my account from TWS frequently so that aspect isn't a big issue to me.
