Line 118 of TurtleManagement.scala: def getVariablesArraySize(turtle: org.nlogo.api.Turtle, breed: org.nlogo.api.AgentSet): Int = { if (breed == _turtles) { program.turtlesOwn.size } else { if (breed == null) throw new IllegalArgumentException("invalid breed") val breedOwns = program.breeds(breed.printName).owns program.turtlesOwn.size + breedOwns.size } }
} So, that means your line AgentSet breed = world.getBreed("males"); is returning null. Perhaps the lines in your Java program are being executed before the Netlogo program even starts, which would mean the environment in Netlogo is not initialized with the breeds. My advice would be localize the Java code in such a way that you can guarantee that it will never execute before the breeds are initialized.
