How make an infinite while

Hi,
I want to check something every x minutes.
I have think to make an infinite while and to use :

Code:

myPlugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(myPlugin, new Runnable() {
 
public void run() {
System.out.println("This message is printed by an async thread");
}
}, 60L, 200L);

Escuse me for my spelling, I'm french !

 

Why are you using an async thread? That's usually not safe.

Use a sync thread, and use the Scheduler run it every X minutes (but put the time period in server ticks. 20 ticks = 1 second). Have the Runnable's run() method do the check and store or process the results.

You won't need a while loop.

 

Ok, It works :

Code:

   
private MyPluygin plugin;
public MyPluyginListener(MyPluygin plugin){
        this.plugin = plugin;
        
        plugin.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleAsyncRepeatingTask(plugin, new Runnable() {
            
            public void run() {
            System.out.println("This message is printed by an async thread");
            }
            }, 60L, 200L);
    }

 

Okay, but do you know what you're doing?

You're working with truly concurrent code here- async threads. You'll need to be sure to use locks and synchronization, and avoid all non-thread-safe Bukkit API calls.
