BukkitInterface

An interface between different versions of Craftbukkit. The problem is that if you use Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() then your plugin will only work with either Bukkit v1.7.9 & older, OR Bukkit v1.7.10 & newer... But not both.

The solution is to use BukkitInterface.getOnlinePlayers() in order to make your plugin compatible with any version of Craftbukkit that the server might be running.

Collection<Player> players = BukkitInterface.getOnlinePlayers(); // always works !!!
