    To aid in making plugins, inspired for my new video series I'll be making on how to create plugins, I've created a small tool which I'm dubbing The Pluginator. Simply enter a few details about your soon-to-be plugin, and it'll create the basic structure for your plugin (it compiles and everything!). No more worrying about the messy stuff, and you can now jump straight into the code within seconds.

    I'll be expanding on my toolset soon by adding something to edit Permissions and Commands, but I'll come back to them later. Planning first!

    Let me know what you think of the tool, it should save you much needless code when you're just starting up a new project :)

    interesting. People that have done plugins for a while probably will find this not extremely useful. But it will be great for new developers.

    May I request an example of how to do this, a sort of tutorial I suppose? Because I really want to start making some plugins but I'm having a hard time grasping the coding :/

    Would you mind if i posted my plugin generator aswell? It's alot different. But i wouldn't feel right posting another plugin generator without your permissions.

    I'm very happy to hear that, thanks! Also: Do you save the data onto a MYSQL table? I'm assuming no.

    Nope. Everything is generated on the spot, I don't record any input or the generated zip.

    I'm actually more interested in this. Granted, they wouldn't be of much use to me, but I'm sure that any new developer would love to watch videos from one of the makers of Bukkit. :)

    Does it use Maven?

    It creates the plugin in a maven compatible format, with a pom.xml and all. Dependencies are added for which options you chose (ebeans for database etc), and you can literally just build the result straight away in maven :)

    Now what about when a new version of Bukkit comes out? How do I tell NetBeans that I want to update the dependencie(s)? I've had this problem in the past with Bukkit's non-vesioned releases. On Eclipse, I can get it to update by forcing the download of packages, but I'm not about to switch back over to that crazy program. So how do I do it on NB? Also, quote or tag me please. :p
    thanks.

    Look for your maven folder and delete the old bukkit; most likely on windows, c:/users/you/.m2/repository/org/bukkit/bukkit/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/bukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

    @Dinnerbone By "Windows," you mean "Windows 7". I'm running a Windows XP and my main file for documents is a c:\Documents and Settings\<name>

    That itself also depends on not moving the path. Either way, it's "most likely" userfolder/.m2/etc.

    @Dinnerbone Ahh, I understand now. You were shorting the string?

    @Jaker232 I'm using Windows 7. Shouldn't be a problem.

    Does it already write the code for your plugin?

    Just tried this, and I must say it is pretty nice.

    Only one problem, though:
    I typed in the name of my plugin, and it didn't generate the whole thing. It like...only made the framework, like it expected me to code the meat of the plugin. Please release a patch for this.

    Note: The above is sarcasm.

    This generates a template for a plugin. Not a plugin. It's so developers don't have to write the same thing out again and again.

    It is a joke ?
    Are you a developer ?
    If yes your question is stupid.
