Hi Thomas, I have a comment to the version check in MZmineCore that you implemented. The implementation has one problem - it runs on the main thread. It will cause a long timeout on MZmine start If the target URL (http://mzmine.sourceforge.net/version.txt) is not accessible due to network problem, sf.net downtime, firewall settings, etc. Can you move the check to a separate class (e.g. NewerVersionCheck.java) that implements Runnable, and simply create a new Thread for it in MZmineCore?
