Message Type: rosjava subscriber problem

edit

Hello ROS community,

My problem seems pretty simple to fix, but since I'm new to ROS (and my java is a bit rusty) and I'm running into a few problems. Right now, all I'm doing is trying to create a subscriber node that will subscribe to the turtlebot's /odom message. Currently in my onNewMessage method, I have no code except a simple System.out.println("Well, at least I got something..."); To test if I successfully detect the message.

Unfortunately I never make it to that point in my code as I run into this guy:

EXCEPTION: java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException) org.ros.exception.RosRuntimeException: java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException

I'm positive that the /odom topic is running and can rostopic echo it just fine. Here is my code, I got it from the rosjava external documentation and modified it to try and accept the nav_msgs/Odometry type instead of a String. I got the original code here: http://docs.rosjava.googlecode.com/hg/rosjava_core/html/getting_started.html

package mypackagename;

import nav_msgs.Odometry;

import org.ros.message.MessageListener;
import org.ros.namespace.GraphName;
import org.ros.node.AbstractNodeMain;
import org.ros.node.ConnectedNode;
import org.ros.node.topic.Subscriber;

public class OdometryCollector extends AbstractNodeMain {
   public GraphName getDefaultNodeName() {
     return new GraphName("mypackagename/OdemetryCollector");
   }

   public void onStart(ConnectedNode connectedNode) {
      Subscriber<nav_msgs.Odometry> odomCollector =    connectedNode.newSubscriber("/odom", "nav_msgs/Odometry");
      odomCollector.addMessageListener(new MessageListener<nav_msgs.Odometry>() {

  public void onNewMessage(nav_msgs.Odometry arg0) {
         System.out.println("Well, At least I got something...");
  };
 });
 }
}

This is my console output with the --info option activated:
