Hello, I run a 24/7 Minecraft server owned by ExodusHosting and all is fine, except for Java 7 plugins. I attempted to use MobArena, UltimateArena, and EnderDragons+, which all require Java 7 except for EnderDragons+, unless you pick the Java 6 option, but my point is they don't seem to work. The problem is as if the server is ignoring that the plugins even exist. When I use the /plugins command in the server, it doesn't show any of the Java 7 plugins, strangely. The server doesn't bother to generate a plugin folder either. I tested the plugins on a local server ran from my house and they seem to work. Other servers have the plugins working as well. I am using CraftBukkit 1.4.5-R0.3. I also tried other versions for 1.4.5, but they all didn't seem to work. I contacted Exodus about the plugins and I thought Java 7 wasn't installed, but I really was trying not to sound rude. I really love this host, aside from the plugin conflict. This is the Java they are using on all nodes: java version "1.7.0_09" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode) Please assist, and thanks, - Trancedkuja
Java version indicates 1.7, so Java 7 plugins should work. Plugins shouldn't be made for Java 7 only though.. but I guess that doesn't matter that much.
Anyone know of a possible solution, as my host told me to contact the devs of the plugins, but that didn't seem to work as I already did and the plugins work with other servers.
Plugins can be coded however they choose. We recommend Java 6 for best compatibility. My guess is the OP is running his server with Java 6, even though he has Java 7 installed.
Well I contacted the host and they said there is nothing more they can do to assist me in the problem. I opened tons of support tickets regarding if they have Java 7 installed and if they are able to fix the plugin, no luck. Java 7 is installed, strangely. If you look at my original post, you can see what version of Java 7 the server is using. Sad, this is the only host that I really like and I do not wish to migrate to a new host. TnT, do you have a solution? If you look at my original post, you can see the conflict I am encountering. Thanks. Please, does anyone have a solution? The server host does not want to help solve my problem which I think they don't know how to fix the problem since they keep telling me to contact the devs of the plugins which I did twice now and I do not know what I should do. I believe they do not know what they are doing. Another strange thing I forgot to mention: I use the same java version as my host does. I now know it is the hosts fault, but they do not know anything to assist me. Does anyone know a solution? I opened yet another ticket.
