I think that this is a safe website I am the owner or representative of this website and I want to report an incorrect warning about it

Hi @HenryMontrose,
At the best of my knowledge - Microsoft prevents proper distribution of Java applications.

When you want to use windows store, these application depends on Windows Runtime APIs allowed for Store apps. Java applications do not abide by that requirement. They depend on the JVM which uses Win32 APIs that are disallowed.

At present only Windows Runtime apps can be published to the Windows Store. Windows Runtime apps are a different model than the desktop app that your Delphi and Java projects create.

I probably could get trusted certificate for the application and sign it each time I make release, but I hope you check downloads from internet with some antivirus anyway. If issue stay or will be massive - i could start publish it as magnet link :)
