Accessing The Log Through Async Task

Is it possible/Legal to write to the log via a async task. If not how would I?

 

the log isn't a bukkit class/api so yes, it's fine.

 

Ok thanks for clarifying

 

Wrong. Just because it's not part of Bukkit doesn't mean it's thread safe.
But in this case it's true, see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/logging/Logger.html:

 

I thought the general rule was that a long as you didn't use the bukkit API is async tasks, you were A-ok

 

That's definitely not the rule. The rule is "always write thread-safe code if you're working with different threads". A lot of Java objects are not thread-safe, in fact, many Collection objects are not thread-safe.

 

Oh, okay, that's good to know. I'm assuming, though, that none of the Bukkit API is thread safe.
