empty-spigot-plugin

This is an empty Spigot plugin. It uses Gradle to make sure the correct version of Spigot is installed and available. It can also host a local testserver with the plugin automatically built and installed.

Usage

IntelliJ IDEA

• Clone repository
• Setup Worksapce
  • Windows:
    • Open CMD
    • Navigate into cloned repository
    • Execute gradlew.bat idea
    • Execute gradlew.bat build
  • Linux/OSX
    • Open Terminal
    • Navigate into cloned repository
    • Execute ./gradlew idea
    • Execute ./gradlew build
• Open the project in IntelliJ by opening the created .ipr file. Otherwise the run configurations will not be in place for you!
• Make sure to click "Link Gradle Project" in the right upper corner after the first start to have Gradle working properly. Check the IntelliJ Event Log if you missed it.

Eclipse (You can try to use it, but IDEA is better...)

• Clone repository
• Setup Worksapce
  • Windows:
    • Open CMD
    • Navigate into cloned repository
    • Execute gradlew.bat eclipse
    • Execute gradlew.bat build
  • Linux/OSX
    • Open Terminal
    • Navigate into cloned repository
    • Execute ./gradlew eclipse
    • Execute ./gradlew build
• Open Eclipse
• If not by now, install a Eclipse Gradle integration plugin from the Marketplace
• Import the repository as a Gradle Project
• Define the Run configurations:
  • Click on the black arrow next to the green arrow in the top bar
  • Double click on Gradle configuration
    • Name one run config "Build Plugin" and assign it the "build" gradle task (Make sure there is no additional new line in the box!)
    • Name the other run config "Start Dev Server" and assign it the "startDevServer" gradle task (Make sure there is no additional new line in the box!)
  • Both run configs need a working directory. Click on Workspace next to the text field and select the name of the project you are currently working on
• Done!

General

During setup some run configurations will be created for you:

• Build Plugin
  Builds the plugin and copies it to the local testserver
• Start Dev Server
  Starts the local testserver in the IDE. You can also debug the plugin by starting it with the little green bug next to the green play button. You can then set breakpoints and perform HotSwap (Shift+F9) during development so you don't have to rebuild the plugin and reload the server all the time.

Changing spigot version or plugin name/version

You can change the Spigot version in the gradle.properties file. Next time you compile the plugin, the correct version of Spigot will be fetched and built for you.

apiversion=1.10.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT // Version of the dependency
apibuildtoolversion=1.10.2 // Version of the dependency in the Spigot BuildTool (Normally Minecraft version number)

If you want to change the name or version of the plugin you need to check the following files:

• gradle.properties
• settings.gradle
• plugin.yml

This should be pretty straight forward...

Make sure to run the clean/ task so that old artifacts don't interfere with the new version.

Keeping server configurations

If you want to keep server configurations after a clean you can put any files into to config/testserver/ directory. The files will automaticall be copied to the testserver/ directory for you
