Checking if config.yml exists and generating one if it doesn't

As the title says, I want to know how to generate a new config file if one already isn't there.

 

Dysko saveDefaultConfig()?

 

fireblast709 I want to check if the config.yml file is already there as I am storing info in it. If it isn't there, I want to save the default config.

 

Dysko That's what saveDefaultConfig() does - it only saves the default config if it isn't there already.

If you are still stuck do this

Code:java

public void onEnable() {
File file = new File(this.getDataFolder(),"config.yml");
if (!file.exists) {
// generation
}
}

No, if you are stuck you use the built in saveDefaultConfig(), it works just fine.
