Weird error, seems to be started in Notch's code:

I put in a hotfix for it into my code, but after looking at the stack trace again it appears it won't help at all since the error isn't in my code at all...

Anyone know what to make of this?

 

Are you trying to run non-safe API functions from your own thread?

 

Non-safe?
Such as...?
This is the Thread in question:
http://code.google.com/p/bukkit-bla...src/me/everdras/blackPlague/PlagueThread.java

Line 68 is the method that caused the exception.

Also, this isn't a consistent bug. I've been unable to reproduce it on my own and no-one else has reported anything like it. It's just on this one server, and they say it happens whenever they have it installed. I.e. they can reproduce it.

EDIT: As I'm looking over the code, I'm guessing getNearbyEntities() isn't safe to be run in its own thread. The same person just posted a different stack trace with a ConcurrentModificationException, which can only be from something else since in my code I have the intrinsic lock of all the variables I'm using.

 

Why don't you use the BukkitScheduler? That's what it's there for...

 

Never heard of it, I'll look at it.

 

I'm no expert,but i think that even though your plugin is working,it does something that crashes bukkit...still your fault!

LE: Just took a quick look at the plugin..NICE! The plague....sounds cool,and it's pretty original!

 

Basically the format is:
get the server some how and define it as server
server.getScheduler.ScheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin, new Runnable(){
public void run(){
insert code
}
}, INSERTDELAYHEREINTICKS)

 

Ah thanks. =)

 

hi, did you solve this ?

 

I did solve this. Thanks.
