I don't know if this is old news to people here, but the B4J IDE (including the designer) runs on Ubuntu 20.4 with the latest Crossover (V20).

Crossover even has B4J as a known app, so the install is relatively painless.

But - and there's always a but - when I try to run a simple program B4J complains "Robocopy.exe" is missing.

I'm googling it all, but whilst I am has anyone else solved this?

So, so close ...

Okey now i tested the windows 7 x64 and i would say 4.5/5, most works right except some dialogs (for example creating a new project) begins as a black screen and slowly paints itself.

fortunately jdk 11 downloaded from the b4j page works with UI app and the packager works, but the packaged file does not lol

so far i am impressed that we are able to run wpf projects in linux and the jdk too, this was impossible 2 years ago.

MaxRamForDex to 1024.
this wasnt necessary in the x64 enviroment
