Solved Simple Bukkit plugin compile errors!

I am new to programming in Java and am following along with a book called "Learn to Program with Minecraft Plugins". The book is really helpful most of the time, but still leaves me frustrated when I get errors. I would appreciate any help you can give me, thank you in advance! It is being compiled against 1.7.10 Spigot.

I have posted the errors I got when trying to compile with javac here

And the entire code of the plugin (really short, only 39 lines) is here

What is the problem exactly?

Btw, your book I would say is a little outdated. You can make your code a whole 3 lines shorter by getting rid of these:

Code:java

public static Logger log = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
log.info("[FireBow] Server reloaded.");
log.info("[FireBow] Server stopping.");

Trust me. It's not just about making your code shorter.

• Stop stealing Minecraft's logger. Use your own plugin's logger - getLogger()
• You don't need to log that your plugin is enabled. Bukkit already does this for you.

I posted the errors I got when I tried to compile with javac, but I don't understand them. If you could tell me what they mean, that's a start!

I figured it out. Apparently I needed to add some more import statements that the book did not show in the example plugin.

croc122 Are you using an IDE?

 

teej107 no I am not. Just compiling with javac. Which IDE do you recommend for the future: Eclipse or Netbeans?

 

croc122 Try out both of them and pick whichever you prefer (note: IntelliJ is a third, pretty popular IDE that you might want to try).

 

croc122 I use Eclipse, I haven't had any problems with it so I'm fine with it. Choose the IDE that you are fine with.
