Bug Reporting

So you've encountered an issue with my plugin and you want me to help you. Ok.

  1. First, get the error report. Most of the time, it will go to the server console and look something like exception
  2. Try to actually read it. Please. At the top of the crash, there are a number of different possible types of exceptions. Let's take my example exception in the screenshot. Breaking down the exception
  3. Identify the type of exception.
  4. Follow the instructions for that exception, because sometimes it's a problem that YOU need to fix!
  5. If you can't find the exception, post a comment with the following information
  • What you were doing
  • What you did right before something broke
  • What you wanted to happen
  • What did happen
  • The full error report
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:

This means that Java is trying to load my plugin, and it sees that my plugin is not compatible with your java. I built my plugin using Java 7. If you are running Java 6, it goes "EEK! Java 7!" and dies. The simple solution is update your java. Note: I am trying to get a version for java 6 up!

Sorry, this is the only exception I've run in to that can be fixed "in the field". I'll add more here, if I encounter more.
