Hi, Ive got a fork  of JBooktrader where

1) upgraded to a very recent IB api .

      a) by and large porting to accessor methods and Enums in the API domain model.  

2) upgraded the dependent libraries to higher revs. ( JFreeCharts not so much) 

3)  created a gradle build.   

Is there any interest in moving this into the master branch ?

Is there any interest in moving this into the master branch ?  

if this works reliable, then this would be great and I would be all for it. 

Another question as there are apparently still some people using it: 

is somebody out there who got ibgateway to work sufficiently stable non-stop?

I get some connection losses with logouts especially Sunday night (I start sunday to have it running on Monday morning) and sometimes during the week, also somewhere at night.

Status :  

So I've got it running in forward test mode.  Seems like the latest api has a new startup protocol forking off  a message processing thread which does nothing other than wait()  and call getMessage().

There is a bug TraderAssistant.checkAccountType() where it locks the startup process because the socket.reqAccountUpdates() IB api never calls back.  checkAccountType is a failsafe to prevent users from live trading by accident, so its not a huge deal.  I just added a timeout to the wait call and keep going.  I'll try to fix it when I have time.  

Is there any fork of JBookTrader anywhere that is more active ?
