Java has annoyances, the same way that every other language does.
Although it's entirely plausible to use Java to develop games for the Cookie, it doesn't really DO anything else.
MidletPascal actually compiles to Java, so when you write a game in MidletPascal, you're inevitably running it in Java anyway!
It's just that MidletPascal is a neater language, albeit with it's own annoying little quirks.
In the end though, The Pascal quirks are less rubbish than the Java quirks, and considering how stressful the Pascal is on it's own, you'll be thankful you're not having to do it all in Java!
On the plus side, If you ever need anything that MidletPascal doesn't have, you can actually compile functions in Java and then use them straight from MidletPascal.
If you followed our tutorials, the Sensor and Vibrate libraries are simple Java compiled using the instructions that are within the MidletPascal help file.
They're compiled, and popped in the library directory, and that basically gives Pascal the boost to do new things.
So, although MidletPascal's not been updated for about 3 years now, we can still give it all these nice new abilities.
On the other hand, whichever we use, we're still not really doing ANYTHING, because we're still locked out of every useful thing we could actually do with the cookie.
Which is a bummer..
