This is my first time here.
I installed midlaet pascal for the first time, and see 2 little bugs.
1) menu->help->about Show the splash screen at desktop center, i have two monitors so, it show in the
middle of them. Change it to screen center.
2) menu->help->check for updates Gives a messageform '24/04/2010' is not a valid date.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Seems your AV software is blocking the execution of MP by marking it as a potential issue (to solve the issue remove MP from the banned list). The 3 files you mention are detected by most of the Virus Scanners by being part of RedBrowser.B for J2ME, but they are all false warnings. I'll try to be as clear as possible so everybody gets informed about this.
Why this happens? Well, some stupid kid wrote years ago that silly trojan with MP 2.02 and now the whole MIDletPascal brandname is compromised, hopefully MP3 will have more luck and nobody will wrote malicious code with it. In fact, one of the goals of the MP3 project is "remove AV false warnings", because try to talk with AV companies to remove their false positives is just impossible, they don't care, as much as they scare people, the more money they make.
Why with those files? The AV companies detected those files (FS, S and SM classes) as malicious code because they are inside the JAR file of the RedBrowser.B, their "engineers" didn't know that those files are part of the runtime libraries of MIDletPascal.
Why are them in the BETA 7 distribution? I still distributing those files just in case my modifications to the Java stubs were not working correctly, so you could replace them quickly on site as needed and keep working with the same files of MP 2.02. But seems everything works ok, so I will remove them in the next version.
If with the next version the problem goes on, let me know, along with the name of the AV you use and I will contact them and demand them for a solution to that injustice.
Thanks for your report!

1) Fixed.
2) Fixed.
If you see something more let me know and I will fix and include it in the next release (CANDIDATE).
Thanks for your reports!
Hello,
one more bug:
when i open xyGridDemo example and then try to view xyPanel.png image (by double click on it) i see Access violation error.
hey Sergey,
Interesting, there was a bug in the third party PNG library I am using. I have fixed it since it is no longer been updated by his author.
Thanks for you report!
I found another error dialog when i clicked on "Check for Updates" in the Help menu:
'24/04/2010' is not a valid date
ooops… alredy fixed :(
Something strange…
Midlet pascal won't start anymore….
After a long search, i found the problem : My virusscanner removed thee files.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MIDletPascal 3.0 BETA 7\Stubs\FS-202.class";"possible virus Java/RedBrowser.B"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MIDletPascal 3.0 BETA 7\Stubs\S-202.class";"possible virus Java/RedBrowser.B"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MIDletPascal 3.0 BETA 7\Stubs\SM-202.class";"possible virus Java/RedBrowser.B"
Is this really so, or has the scanner it wrong ??
