In one case, closing a client while it was already closing on another thread (say because the server is shutting down and you are exiting at the same time) would cause an NPE if you caught it just right. Now the thing checking and setting the connection state is synchronized to avoid the race. The other more subtle one was caused by sending out the 'connected' event before the services were all started. It's quite common for application code to start doing stuff when the 'connected' event comes through like sending messages and stuff. If the services hadn't been fully started then even the serializers might not be registered yet... and that = bad. Now the client doesn't send the 'connected' event until the services are started. This should be safe and one could argue that it's more 'correct' but there is some small chance that it screws up certain use-cases. However, if a real use-case comes up that's not solved by a service then we can always add some kind of prestarted event.
jMonkeyEngine
jMonkeyEngine is a 3D game engine for adventurous Java developers. It’s open source, cross platform and cutting edge. And it is all beautifully documented. The 3.0 branch is the latest stable version of the jMonkeyEngine 3 SDK, a complete game development suite. We'll be frequently submitting stable 3.0.x updates until the major 3.1 version arrives.
The engine is used by several commercial game studios and computer-science courses. Here's a taste:
- jME powered games on IndieDB
- Maker's Tale
- Boardtastic 2
- Copod
- Attack of the Gelatinous Blob
- Chaos
- Mythruna
- PirateHell
- 3089 (on steam)
- 3079 (on steam)
Getting started
Go to http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/downloads/ to download the jMonkeyEngine SDK. Read the wiki for a complete install guide. Power up with some SDK Plugins and AssetPacks and you are off to the races. At this point you're gonna want to join the forum so our tribe can grow stronger.
Note: The master branch on GitHub is a development version of the engine and is NOT MEANT TO BE USED IN PRODUCTION, it will break constantly during development of the stable jME versions!
