Towny API Help

Let's say I want to code a plugin that deletes inactive towns in Towny. What do you do to be able to access Towny methods and Objects such as Resident or town.getMayor() in your code? I am using IntelliJ IDEA.

Thanks

 

@timtower Okay yeah, I see all the packages and methods. But how do I actually get access to the code? Do I just download the towny .jar files and add it as an external jar in IntelliJ?

 

@timtower This error pops up every time I try to compile the code:

What did I do wrong?

 

@InsertNameHere You didn't add the towny dependency to the pom by the looks of it. But after googling for a bit it doesn't look like towny is on Maven anyway. You're gonna have to download and import the towny library manually.
