I'm not sure how to do it conveniently when running under Java Web Start. (When running a Java program in a console, one would press Ctrl+Backspace to get a stack dump.) One way to do it is to start jconsole (which is part of the JDK), attach to the client process and go through the threads under the "Threads" tab of the interface, but then one would have to go through the threads one-by-one, which would be a bit tedious.

Well, it's up to you whether to compile that stack dump or not. :)

Sorry I am not a computer programmer so I have no idea how to do that. Does this report help you at all?

Unfortunately not; the point of dumping the stack would be to get the list of actual functions. Mind you, it isn't exactly "hard" to produce the stack dump; you'd just have to install the JDK and then follow my previous post.

I don't see jconsole anywhere.

I can't say I know the name that is put on the Windows start menu, but if you just navigate to the directory in which you installed the JDK, it should be there under the "bin" directory.

I am surprised by this game's rude community, I have to say that I expected otherwise.
