Open Microscopy Environment

We have an OMERO server beta 4.03 and can connect without any problems using the beta 4.03 clients from our windows machines and a linux workstation (Centos 5.3 64bit, OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b09))

I have installed the OMEROclients on another Linux workstation (Centos -4 x86_64, Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_11-b03)) and they take 200 seconds to load up completely. The top half of the splash screen appears with the message: starting Cahing Service, but the bottom half, which contains the login boxes, takes 200 seconds to appear. Once there I can logon.

Here is the startup script in OMEROinsight_unix.sh:

cd /usr/local/OMERO.clients-Beta4.0.3.linux
java -Xms128000000 -Xmx256000000 -jar omero.insight.jar

As a poosibly relevant aside, when stating ImageJ it open almost immediately, but the bouncy icon contiinues for some time (possibly 200 seconds!)

I've opened up the firewall ports 4063/tcp, 4063 udp and disabled SElinux.

One thought here is maybe you're firewalling off the update check that happens when the application starts? The update check is an HTTP request to http://upgrade.openmicroscopy.org.uk/.
