the preprocessor has problems with longs written as 1000L or 1000l

it reports:
Syntax Error: ";" inserted to complete BlockStatement

example:

long timestamp = 1144340899 * 1000L;
java.util.Date d = java.util.new Date(timestamp);
println( d );

that's bizarre, but here's your workaround:

long timestamp = 1144340899;
long thousand = 1000;
long both = timestamp * thousand;
Date d = new Date(both);
println( d );

two notes on your original code, you should make both of those values longs
to make sure that the multiply is processed 64 bit. and there's no need to
put java.util in front of Date (unless you're importing something else random).

thanks, i use this now:

Date d = new Date((long)1144340899*(long)1000);
println( d );

wow that produced a compiler error with direct link to the bugs-db, haven't seen that for a
long while! :-) no clue how the java.util slipped infront there .. can you import at random
points in the code? might be an interessting method to work with ...

PdeEmitter.java (Line 637)

case NUM_FLOAT:
case NUM_LONG:

---------------------------------

fixes long values in form 1000L or 1000l.

thanks, got it in there for 0125.
