Oracle Agile e6 - Java Client Font Fix

A fix for the menu font rendering issue in the JIDE-based Oracle Agile e6 Java Client caused by newer JRE updates.

Problem

After updating to newer JRE versions, fonts in menus of the Oracle Agile e6 Java Client appear smaller than expected. This is caused by changes in font scaling behavior introduced in newer JRE releases affecting JIDE-based Swing components.

Solution

This fix patches all font-related Swing UIDefaults keys after the Look and Feel has been initialized, and installs a runtime listener for lazily created JIDE components (e.g. popup menus).

The fix acts as a wrapper around the original com.agile.jacc.e6.Jacc main class — the Agile client starts normally after the fix has been applied.

Requirements

• Oracle Agile e6 Java Client (tested with version 6.2)
• JRE 1.8 (installed with the Agile client)
• Maven 3.6.3+
• JDK 8 (for building)

Build

1. Install the Agile JAR into your local Maven repository

mvn install:install-file \
  -Dfile="C:\Program Files (x86)\Agile_e6\Java Client\axalant\bin\java\jacc.jar" \
  -DgroupId=com.agile.e6 \
  -DartifactId=jacc \
  -Dversion=6.2 \
  -Dpackaging=jar \
  -DgeneratePom=true

2. Build the JAR

mvn package -DskipTests

The JAR will be created at target/agile-fontfix-1.0.0.jar.

Deployment

1. Copy the JAR

Create the following directory and copy the JAR into it:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Agile_e6\Java Client\ICPSolution\font_fix\

mkdir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Agile_e6\Java Client\ICPSolution\font_fix"
copy target\agile-fontfix-1.0.0.jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\Agile_e6\Java Client\ICPSolution\font_fix\"

2. Patch jacc.cmd

The required changes to jacc.cmd are documented in docs/jacc-fontfix-patch.md.

Apply the patch to the original jacc.cmd located at:

C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Agile\EDM\jacc.cmd

Configuration

The font can be configured via JVM system properties in jacc.cmd:

Property	Default	Description
-Dicp.font.name	Arial	Font family name
-Dicp.font.style	0	Font style: 0=Plain, 1=Bold, 2=Italic
-Dicp.font.size	12	Font size in points

Example:

set FONT_OPTS=-Dicp.font.name=Arial -Dicp.font.style=0 -Dicp.font.size=12

Fallback behavior

If the fix JAR is not found at the configured path, the Agile client starts normally using the original com.agile.jacc.e6.Jacc main class. A warning is printed to the console:

[ICP FontFix] WARNING: Font Fix JAR not found, starting without Font-Fix...
