    I have another developer and I don't know how to have him work on the plugin with me. Does anybody know how to do that?
     
  2. If you both use Eclipse, use a plugin (for Eclipse) called Saros.
    You can even see eachother write the code, follow eachother working on it etc.

    If you use saros, you still need to manual backup or use a git repo. Saros is buggy and sometimes will wipe both projects (rarely happens but it does)
     

  5. Then use both :D

    Ok so github or Saros? Also I want my Code to be private so no one can copy the code.

    I think you should look into what copyright is.

    Use saros or bitbucket if you don't want public code.

    "so no one can copyright" -> im rolling on the floor right now

    Are these plugins or programs? P.s someone asked me if I used Eclipse and I do.

    GitHub is not an option unless you're willing to pay or open source, unfortunately.

    That would really be your best option- otherwise set up your own git repository (or other SCM of choice, subversion, etc)

    How you interact with the SCM is up to you (eclipse plugin, command line, stand alone GUI) but you have to start with a central repository for storing your code.

    Just buy a private GitHub repo.

    Or save your money and use Bitbucket.

    NicksTheBoss The best way, by far, is Dropbox.

    Make a drop box account, and store a project on there. Then, on your IDE (eclipse) open the project. The files autmaticly update (It'll say reload) and you can have multiple people work on it, on ANY IDE!

    Wait what it Bitbucket?

    I looked into BitBukkit and it seems to not use Eclipse. Should I use Saros?

    Bitbucket is a free code DVCS hosting site for Git and Mercurial. It is not a plugin for the Eclipse IDE unlike Saros.
    These two things are fundamentally different tools. One is a remote repository for a version control tool, and the other is a plugin for eclipse to allow for real-time collaborative editing.

    But which one should I choose? Saros or BitBukkit.

    There is nothing from stopping you from using both. In fact, it was recommended that you use source control with Saros because of possible glitches.

    This is the main reason you switch to NetBeans or IntelliJ IDEA, they support git first hand without the hassle.

    xTrollxDudex Intellij is difficult for some people to get setup on to make plugins, that's the reason I find that most people don't use it. Someone should make a tutorial on it or people should learn..

    Ok so I have a plugin made Survival Games All-In-One , you can look it up on plugins.bukkit.org and I have another developer working with me, Which one should I use Saros or BitBukkit either one. I like Saros because of eclipse and I like BitBukkit for the private repo.

    If it's on Bukkit, I don't see what's so bad about having open source now, so I'd say GitHub, again.

    Use git command line or a GUI for git if you want to still use eclipse

    There's a Git plugin for Eclipse.

    The Eclipse IDE for Java Developers comes with the git plugin pre bundled, along with Java Development Tool plugin, and Maven Integration Plugin. All the other editions (Including Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers) that people download are geared towards different things because everything is a plugin in Eclipse.

    IntelliJ is better, admit Mr.Docs.
