Get UUID from AccountsClient

Mojang is pushing all servers to start storing data as UUIDs, as most of you know. They also have their API at the following website:
https://github.com/Mojang/AccountsClient/
I've been developing plugins and other things for quite a while but I can not figure out how to use this code in my project. I am making a private API to make dealing with UUIDs easier but I need to be able to fetch the UUID of offline players.
If anyone can quickly explain how to add this to my eclipse project or point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

When building with Bukkit or CB, using the method Player.getUniqueID() returns their UUID.

 

AoH_Ruthless I already know that but I need to bulk migrate a whole list of Minecraft usernames (thousands) to UUIDs and waiting for each of them to login so I can run p.getUniqueID() is not a viable solution.
Thanks for your suggestion but I need to access Mojang's api

Something like this:

Code:java

 final HttpProfileRepository repository = new HttpProfileRepository();
public String getUUID(String name) {
Profile[] profiles = repository.findProfilesByCriteria(new ProfileCriteria[] { new ProfileCriteria(name, "minecraft") });
if (profiles.length == 1)
return profiles[0].getId();
else {
return "";
}

Note: this doesn't return UUID format, it returns a uuid with no - in it. To check this against a player's uuid with the bukkit api simply do

Code:java

 Bukkit.getPlayer("SuperOmegaCow").getUniqueId().toString().replace("-", "").equals(getUUID("SuperOmegaCow"))

 

SuperOmegaCow Thank you for that code.
In order to execute the code, I need to add the Mojang API from GitHub to my eclipse project. I am still lost on how to do that.
Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it.

 

adding code to project is generic java skill, you shoud learn java before going to use bukkit api

 

RawCode I know that, I've never gotten code from github before. I expected it to be much harder than it was, but it was fairly straight forward.
Thanks for your help everyone!

 

you can use my rip from mojang API (no side refs required, copypaste and it will work)

Ran into another problem. Since a function must be static to be called from another plugin, and more importantly to be used as an api, I am unable to get my data file to store the UUID once fetching it from Mojang, and creating a new instance errors on command.

You cannot initialize your main class, remove line 65.

You can't create a second instance of the main class that extends JavaPlugin.

 

Also be aware that this method which gets the UUID from Mojang will lag your server hard if you do it synchronously.
So use an async task to do the request to prevent that.
