Oops, you broke my plugins!

Greetings everyone,

The Bukkit developers recently created the ambigous getHealth() and getMaxHealth() method for not breaking older plugins. Since the last stable Bukkit version (1.6.2 R 1.0) this is killing my plugins that are already updated to use doubles. I cannot find a way to properly use the getHealth() method and eclipse will also not compile with such a problem.

Examples for that problem, none of them is compileable:

Code:java

    public void setHP(double d) {
 
        if (d>e.getMaxHealth()) d=e.getMaxHealth();
 
        e.setHealth(d);
    }

Code:java

    public double getHP() {
        return e.getHealth();
    }

Code:java

double gainedHP=e.getHealth()-dragonlives;

Code:java

double d=e.getHealth();

I somehow cannot edit my post to add the following issue:
You marked the EntityType.getByName() as deprecated but offer no alternatives at all. Spamming supress warnings is against my sense of clean programming.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

You can suppress warnings to the whole class.

 

Supressing warnings is not the way it's meant to be at all. It's not about the amount of them.

I know, I agree with you. Bukkit shouldn't have deprecated a ton of things that they did.

 

for you gethealth problem, use the recommend way of building a plugin, build with the bukkit.jar and not the craftbukkit.jar

 

Thank you, this helped me out a lot.
