Maybe we have a different definition of "same", since the code on github has start() in lines 90-102, and there's not output.println:

 90   public void start(double write_period, int batch_size)
 91   {
 92        if (write_period < MIN_WRITE_PERIOD)
 93        {
 94            Activator.getLogger().log(Level.INFO, "Adjusting write period from {0} to {1}",
 95                new Object[] { write_period, MIN_WRITE_PERIOD });
 96            write_period = MIN_WRITE_PERIOD;
 97        }
 98        millisec_delay = (int)(1000.0 * write_period);
 99        this.batch_size = batch_size;
100       thread = new Thread(this, "WriteThread");
101       thread.start();
102  }

Your line 116 is:

>        output.println("time to start: "+ currentData());


Your output variable is null.
If currentData() returned null, you would see "time to start: null" in the output.
I don't know how you get the output variable, because your code is not the same as the one on github.
