Solved Building against craftbukkit.

I am updating all my Maven dependencies and figured I might as well add craftbukkit, but I cannot find ANY documentation on how to do so. I do not know what to put in my pom to build against craftbukkit, would someone mind posting an example pom? Thanks for all help provided.

You don't build it with craftbukkit, you build it with bukkit.

 

@BrickBoy55
Then how do I cast to CraftPlayer, CraftSnowball, and etc?
Just depending on bukkit makes these come up as error, saying that they cannot be resolved to a type.

 

@meguy26 You can build against CraftBukkit, but unless you already have a copy, it isn't legal to get one.

 

@CodePlaysMinecraft
What about through spigot buildtools?

EDIT:
and yes, i know it is a "fork" but would it work?

 

@meguy26 That's for 1.8.

 

@meguy26

Good question, one I would like to know the answer to.
But you build the plugin with the API, not the server.

 

@nverdier
I want 1.8

 

@timtower
I needed to cast to craftplayer to send a destroy entity packet to make the snowballs my wands shoot invisible. Regardless I got my answer here: http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/building-against-craftbukkit-does-spigot-host-it.61248
