PJe-Calc Cidadão

This is a community package of PJe-Calc Cidadão, maintained independently and unaffiliated with the Labour Courts. It downloads the official Windows installer at install time and takes the program out of it without running the installer, and runs it on OpenJDK 8 from Azul (Zulu), downloaded from Azul. The program's files are kept as shipped, except that its persistence.xml.tmp template is renamed to persistence.xml at install time, which PJe-Calc's own launcher does on first start but cannot do in the read-only app folder. The Windows Java runtime and the bundled Firefox Portable are left out: the page opens in your own browser.

PJe-Calc Cidadão is the calculation system of the Brazilian Labour Courts (Justiça do Trabalho), used by lawyers, accountants and experts to prepare labour claim calculations in the same format the courts use, and to export them to the PJe judicial system.

Opening it starts PJe-Calc in the background and opens its page in your browser, at localhost port 9257. The small PJe-Calc window stays open while it runs: "Abrir o PjeCalc" opens the page again and "Sair" stops it. Calculations are kept inside the sandbox, in ~/.var/app/br.jus.trt8.PJeCalc/data/pjecalc; when a new version first starts, a copy of the previous database is kept next to it.

TRT8's download server only answers connections from Brazil, so the installer comes from a mirror in this package's GitHub releases: each one is TRT8's file unchanged, checked against the MD5 TRT8 publishes before it is released. PJe-Calc is free public software of the Labour Courts.

Permissions: network access (your browser reaches PJe-Calc through a local server, and it downloads updated index tables from the courts), and your Documents and Downloads folders, for the database backup and restore in the tray menu.

PJe-Calc Cidadão itself does not use certificates. Where a court system asks for a digital signature, that is done by PJeOffice Pro, also on FlatPark, which works with A3 tokens through Tessera.
