How to use the method getHealth() in Bukkit using Heroes - java

Basically I have started updating a lot of Heroes spells to 1.7.2 and this update broke the .getHealth() and .getMaxHealth(). I am trying to fix it but I do not know how to. If anyone has some advice or samples I will be in debt. I will place some code where I use the .getHealth() method.
this is the link of the error: http://puu.sh/7BrEP.png. It is saying this method is ambigous for that type.
public void tickHero(Hero hero) {
if ( hero.getPlayer().getHealth() - damage > 1) {
addSpellTarget(hero.getPlayer(), plugin.getCharacterManager().getHero(caster));
damageEntity(hero.getPlayer(), caster, damage, DamageCause.MAGIC);
//hero.getPlayer().damage(damage, caster);
}
}

As of 1.7.2, there are two getHealth() and getMaxHealth() methods. This is becaue of the way Bukkit handled Minecraft changing the way entity health is stored in 1.6. You can read more about this here.
If you aren't using any NMS code, you should use the bukkit.jar in your build path as opposed to craftbukkit.jar. This should resolve your issue easily enough.
If you do need NMS code, you need to have both bukkit.jar AND craftbukkit.jar in your build path. Furthermore, you have to have bukkit.jar above craftbukkit.jar in the build path for it to work.

New value added to Java Enum not available during debug

I am having the following problem:
I have an Enum that was originally declared with 5 elements.
public enum GraphFormat {
DOT,
GML,
PUML,
JSON,
NEO4J,
TEXT {
#Override
public String getFileExtension() {
return ".txt";
}
};
Now I need to add an additional element to it (NEO4J). When I run my code or try to debug it I am getting an exception because the value can't be found in the enum.
I am using IntelliJ as my IDE, and have cleaned the cache, force a rebuild, etc.. and nothing happens. When I look at the .class file created on my target folder, it also has the new element.
Any ideas on what could be causing this issue ?
I found my problem and want to share here what was causing it. My code was actually for a Maven plug-in which I was pointing to another project of mine to run it as a goal. However the pom.xml of my target test project was pointing to the original version of the plug-in instead of the one I am working on, and that version of course is outdated and does not include the new value. Thank you.

Java code in different build environments [duplicate]

My project requires Java 1.6 for compilation and running. Now I have a requirement to make it working with Java 1.5 (from the marketing side). I want to replace method body (return type and arguments remain the same) to make it compiling with Java 1.5 without errors.
Details: I have an utility class called OS which encapsulates all OS-specific things. It has a method
public static void openFile(java.io.File file) throws java.io.IOException {
// open the file using java.awt.Desktop
...
}
to open files like with double-click (start Windows command or open Mac OS X command equivalent). Since it cannot be compiled with Java 1.5, I want to exclude it during compilation and replace by another method which calls run32dll for Windows or open for Mac OS X using Runtime.exec.
Question: How can I do that? Can annotations help here?
Note: I use ant, and I can make two java files OS4J5.java and OS4J6.java which will contain the OS class with the desired code for Java 1.5 and 1.6 and copy one of them to OS.java before compiling (or an ugly way - replace the content of OS.java conditionally depending on java version) but I don't want to do that, if there is another way.
Elaborating more: in C I could use ifdef, ifndef, in Python there is no compilation and I could check a feature using hasattr or something else, in Common Lisp I could use #+feature. Is there something similar for Java?
Found this post but it doesn't seem to be helpful.
Any help is greatly appreciated. kh.
Nope there isn't any support for conditional compilation in Java.
The usual plan is to hide the OS specific bits of your app behind an Interface and then detect the OS type at runtime and load the implementation using Class.forName(String).
In your case there no reason why you can't compile the both OS* (and infact your whole app) using Java 1.6 with -source 1.5 -target 1.5 then in a the factory method for getting hold of OS classes (which would now be an interface) detect that java.awt.Desktop
class is available and load the correct version.
Something like:
public interface OS {
void openFile(java.io.File file) throws java.io.IOException;
}
public class OSFactory {
public static OS create(){
try{
Class.forName("java.awt.Desktop");
return new OSJ6();
}catch(Exception e){
//fall back
return new OSJ5();
}
}
}
Hiding two implementation classes behind an interface like Gareth proposed is probably the best way to go.
That said, you can introduce a kind of conditional compilation using the replace task in ant build scripts. The trick is to use comments in your code which are opened/closed by a textual replacement just before compiling the source, like:
/*{{ Block visible when compiling for Java 6: IFDEF6
public static void openFile(java.io.File file) throws java.io.IOException {
// open the file using java.awt.Desktop
...
/*}} end of Java 6 code. */
/*{{ Block visible when compiling for Java 5: IFDEF5
// open the file using alternative methods
...
/*}} end of Java 5 code. */
now in ant, when you compile for Java 6, replace "IFDEF6" with "*/", giving:
/*{{ Block visible when compiling for Java 6: */
public static void openFile(java.io.File file) throws java.io.IOException {
// open the file using java.awt.Desktop
...
/*}} end of Java 6 code. */
/*{{ Block visible when compiling for Java 5, IFDEF5
public static void openFile(java.io.File file) throws java.io.IOException {
// open the file using alternative methods
...
/*}} end of Java 5 code. */
and when compiling for Java 5, replace "IFDEF5". Note that you need to be careful to use // comments inside the /*{{, /*}} blocks.
You can make the calls using reflection and compile the code with Java 5.
e.g.
Class clazz = Class.forName("java.package.ClassNotFoundInJavav5");
Method method = clazz.getMethod("methodNotFoundInJava5", Class1.class);
method.invoke(args1);
You can catch any exceptions and fall back to something which works on Java 5.
The Ant script introduced below gives nice and clean trick.
link: https://weblogs.java.net/blog/schaefa/archive/2005/01/how_to_do_condi.html
in example,
//[ifdef]
public byte[] getBytes(String parameterName)
throws SQLException {
...
}
//[enddef]
with Ant script
<filterset begintoken="//[" endtoken="]">
<filter token="ifdef" value="${ifdef.token}"/>
<filter token="enddef" value="${enddef.token}"/>
</filterset>
please go to link above for more detail.
In java 9 it's possible to create multi-release jar files. Essentially it means that you make multiple versions of the same java file.
When you compile them, you compile each version of the java file with the required jdk version. Next you need to pack them in a structure that looks like this:
+ com
+ mypackage
+ Main.class
+ Utils.class
+ META-INF
+ versions
+ 9
+ com
+ mypackage
+ Utils.class
In the example above, the main part of the code is compiled in java 8, but for java 9 there is an additional (but different) version of the Utils class.
When you run this code on the java 8 JVM it won't even check for classes in the META-INF folder. But in java 9 it will, and will find and use the more recent version of the class.
I'm not such a great Java expert, but it seems that conditional compilation in Java is supported and easy to do. Please read:
http://www.javapractices.com/topic/TopicAction.do?Id=64
Quoting the gist:
The conditional compilation practice is used to optionally remove chunks of code from the compiled version of a class. It uses the fact that compilers will ignore any unreachable branches of code.
To implement conditional compilation,
define a static final boolean value as a non-private member of some class
place code which is to be conditionally compiled in an if block which evaluates the boolean
set the value of the boolean to false to cause the compiler to ignore the if block; otherwise, keep its value as true
Of course this lets us to "compile out" chunks of code inside any method. To remove class members, methods or even entire classes (maybe leaving only a stub) you would still need a pre-processor.
if you don't want conditionally enabled code blocks in your application then a preprocessor is only way, you could take a look at java-comment-preprocessor which can be used for both maven and ant projects
p.s.
also I have made some example how to use preprocessing with Maven to build JEP-238 multi-version JAR without duplication of sources
Java Primitive Specializations Generator supports conditional compilation:
/* if Windows compilingFor */
start();
/* elif Mac compilingFor */
open();
/* endif */
This tool has Maven and Gradle plugins.
hi I have got similar problem when I have shared library between Java SDK abd Android and in both environments are used the graphics so basically my code must to work with both
java.awt.Graphics and android.graphics.Canvas,
but I don't want to duplicate almost any code.
My solution is to use wrapper, so I access to graphisc API indirectl way, and
I can change a couple of imports, to import the wrapper I want to compile the projects.
The projects have some cone shaded and some are separate, but there is no duplicating anything except of couple of wrappers etc.
I think it is the best what I can do.

JavaFX: Getting Stage of running Applications

For testing a application with TestFX i need to get the actual primary stage of a running application. This means that i haven't the code, i can just run the application through a jar.
Is there any possible solution for this? Scenic View does this already, but i was not able to reproduce this functionallity, especially because it seems that they use the deprecated funtion
Windows.impl_getWindows
which is not working in my case.
Try this:
import com.sun.javafx.robot.impl.FXRobotHelper;
static Collection<Stage> getAllJavaFXStages() {
try {
return FXRobotHelper.getStages();
} catch ( NullPointerException npe ) {
// nasty NPE if no stages exist
return Collections.emptyList();
}
}
```
Based on my own testing framework code: Automaton.
EDIT:
If you want to get a Stage from a different JVM instance than where you're running your code, then there's no simple way.
You're right, ScenicView does it, but it uses tools.jar to do it. This is not a standard jar you get in your runtime, so you must add it manually (placing it in jre/lib/ext should do it, you'll normally find it in lib only).
I tracked down the code where ScenicView seems to be doing it in their BitBucket repo.
Check the function getRunningJavaFXApplications for example.
Have fun using that in your tests!

JIRA - Jira post function -- How to update "fix version" field?

My scenario is: One step in my jira workflow should have the ability to unschedule a task i.e. set a Fix Version to "None".
I noticed that I was not able to update fix version in a workflow post function - I don't know exactly why, but anyway I did implement a jira plugin to help me solve my problem but I know I'm going against jira structure (even java good coding practices :)). I am not sure if my implementation can cause problems, but indeed it is working in my jira instance 4.1.x.
How I've implemented a plugin to update fix version in a post function, 2 very similar ways:
public class BrandsclubPostFunctionUnschedule extends AbstractJiraFunctionProvider {
// Here I create an empty Collection to be the new value of FixVersion (empty because I need no version in Fix Version)
public void execute(Map transientVars, Map args, PropertySet ps) throws WorkflowException {
MutableIssue issue = this.getIssue(transientVars);
Collection<Version> newFixVersion = new ArrayList<Version>();
issue.setFixVersions(newFixVersion);
issue.store();
}
}
public class BrandsclubPostFunctionUnschedule extends AbstractJiraFunctionProvider {
// here I clear the Collection I got from "old" Fix Version and I have to set it again to make it work.
public void execute(Map transientVars, Map args, PropertySet ps) throws WorkflowException {
MutableIssue issue = this.getIssue(transientVars);
Collection fixVersions = issue.getFixVersions();
fixVersions.clear();
issue.setFixVersions(fixVersions);
issue.store();
}
}
I presume that a real solution should use classes like: ChangeItemBean, ModifiedValue, IssueChangeHolder - taking as example the updateValue methods from CustomFieldImpl (from jira source code, project: jira, package: com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields).
My point of publishing this here is:
Does anyone know how to implement a jira plugin containing a post function to change Fix Version correctly?
If you want to do it properly take a look in the code for
./jira/src/java/com/atlassian/jira/workflow/function/issue/UpdateIssueFieldFunction.java processField()
Postfunctions that take input parameters are not documented yet it seems. Other places to go for code are other open source plugins.
Atlassian has a tutorial on doing just about exactly what you want to do, here:
I do it like in this snippet:
List<GenericValue> genericValueList = issueManager.getIssues(issues);
versionManager.moveIssuesToNewVersion(genericValueList, lastVersion, newVersion);

Problem with ImageTools plugin in Grails

i have a grails project with an Image Domain Class and Controller.
I just installed the grails ImageTools 1.0.4 Plugin and i would like to generate thumbnails for images wich will be uploaded.
My Image-Domain-Class:
class Image {
byte[] data
//String name
byte[] thumbnail
static constraints = {
//name()
data()
}
}
The "safe"-action in my Controller:
def save = {
def imageInstance = new Image(params)
def imageTool = new ImageTool()
imageTool.load(imageInstance.data)
imageTool.thumbnail(320)
imageInstance.thumbnail = imageTool.getBytes("JPEG") //Here is my problem!
if(!imageInstance.hasErrors() && imageInstance.save()) {
flash.message = "Image ${imageInstance.id} created"
redirect(action:show,id:imageInstance.id)
}
else {
render(view:'create',model:[imageInstance:imageInstance])
}
}
When I start my Grails-application and uploading an image I'm getting the following error-message:
Error 200: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: ImageTool.getBytes() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: {"JPEG"}
Servlet: grails
URI: /grailsproject/grails/image/save.dispatch
Exception Message: No signature of method: ImageTool.getBytes() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: {"JPEG"}
Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: ImageTool.getBytes() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: {"JPEG"}
Class: GrailsAuthenticationProcessingFilter
At Line: [57]
It says that the Method getBytes() is missing but the method is still available. My IDE intelliJ also recognizes no errors.
So what can I do? Could someone help me please?
Sorry for my bad english. If you are german, please look at http://support-network.info/board/problem-mit-imagetools-getbytes-t3008.html .
I use Grails 1.0.4.
I could fix this error message. I just copied the getBytes() method from the git Repository of Ricardo (the plugin developer) and replaced the old one with the new one. Now everything works! I don't know where the bug was but i'm happy that i solved it.
Thank you both very much!
Looks like that method is a fairly new addition to the class (3/6/2009). If you have verified that that method is in the ./plugins/imagetools/src/groovy/ImageTool.groovy file I'd recommend running:
grails clean
If you had been using this plugin prior it might be a cache problem.
The reply that you received from John sounds about right - if you have installed the new plugin and can see the code, but keep getting this error only outside IntelliJ, you should try cleaning your grails cache - it's very possible that an older copy of the plugin is precompiled on the cache.
Are you using Grails 1.1? I haven't yet tested it with the latest grails, but I understand it keeps the plugins not under the project but in a separate directory. Do let me know and I'll try it out.
I don't know what the plugin is really giving you over using JAI directly, IMHO it isn't doing much.
I use ImageMagick out of process for my image conversion and the results are superior to what can be done with JAI from what I have seen. Of course if your doing as much traffic as Amazon running out of process is not an option, however if you need to get to revenue as quickly as possible then you might want to consider what I've done.
I use apache-commons-exec to have a nice interface around handling opening an external process and reading data from std in and out. The only thing I'm using JAI for is to read the sizes of images.
try this one http://support-network.info/board/gel%C3%B6st-problem-mit-imagetools-getbytes-t3008.html
