I've just installed forge to my development environment for modding, and I've encountered a strange set of errors that didn't happen when I just used ModLoader:

 

 

== ERRORS FOUND ==

1 error

2 warnings

==================

 

 

 

The first two warnings strike me as odd because I haven't added anything that uses them yet.

 

The last one doesn't seem to be correct, as here's what I have for the method in question:

 

 

public Entity getCurrentTarget(EntityLiving entityliving)

  {

Entity target;

 

      try

      {

          target = (Entity)(ModLoader.getPrivateValue( EntityLiving.class, entityliving, 79) );

          return target;

      }

      catch ( SecurityException securityexception )

      {

          throw new RuntimeException( securityexception );

      }

      catch ( NoSuchFieldException nosuchfieldexception )

      {

          throw new RuntimeException( nosuchfieldexception );

      }

    }

 

 

 

The nosuchfieldexception is clearly thrown there.

 

Anybody have any idea what's going on?

Its not thrown.. which is why your compiler is telling you the catch isn't needed.
