The UNICORE Rich Client
***********************
The UNICORE Rich Client (URC) is a full-featured, graphical
client for the UNICORE Grid system.
Prerequisites
*************
You need a Java 8 runtime (Oracle, OpenJDK).
The URC does not support Java 9 or later.
The URC includes the Azul Zulu Java 8 runtime (an OpenJDK build),
which is used by default. If you wish to use your own runtime,
remove the following lines from the UNICORE_RICH_CLIENT.ini:
-vm
jre_1.8.242/bin/java
Known issues
************
On some Linux distributions, the client may crash during startup.
In that case please try adding a line at the end of
the UNICORE_Rich_Client.ini file:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
On some Ubuntu versions, some graphical elements may not work
as intended.
This is due to a bug in Ubuntu gtk3.
If that case please try to switch to gtk2 by adding the following
lines in the UNICORE_RICH_CLIENT.ini file:
--launcher.GTK_version
2
This should be inserted right before the "-vm" line.
