[DEV] Temporary Attributes [Snippet]

This is basicly a piece of code that you can add to any plugins to allow it to set temporary attributes. Personally I don't know if the config system in bukkit does better (or if the config system is used to temp. attributes >.>) but I personally find this myself a tad easier.

Code:

    private final Map<String, Object> attributes = new HashMap<String, Object>();
   
    public void setAttribute(String string, Object object) {
        attributes.put(string, object);
    }
   
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public <T> T getAttribute(String string) {
        return (T) attributes.get(string);
    }
 
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public <T> T getAttribute(String string, T fail) {
        T object = (T) attributes.get(string);
        if (object != null) {
            return object;
        }
        return fail;
    }
   
    public void removeAttribute(String string) {
        attributes.remove(string);
    }

Ofcourse you may create instances and such for the class you're going to put it in.


Please Note I am quite a new person to bukkit but doesn't mean I ain't know no java.
