First plugin: BukkitLTI

With a week my employer gave me to hack on any project, I built an LTI plugin for Bukkit so teachers can connect online assignments to areas on their servers. This was outside my normal expertise, but I think I ended up with something pretty cool, including commands, listeners, bean persistence, delayed runnables, service calls, and even an embedded web server, patterned after dynmap.

I'd love to hear what you guys with more experience have to say. Let me know if I'm doing anything obviously dumb. Thanks!

We mostly assist with fixing problems and explaining how to do things when error codes appear. I personally do not have the expertise to look over such a project, for I do not work with web hookups and bean persistence I would get one of your friends to look it over. Good luck in your future endeavors, but you're very unlikely to receive the response you are looking for here. Someone might prove me wrong though...

 

bluej100 What are all the dependencies it uses?

 

Just Jetty, javax.servlet, and IMS Global's LTI utils. It was pretty straightforward, actually. The jar is 9 MB, though, which kind of sucks. Dunno how dynmap keeps it down to 3.4.

bluej100 can u make a download link?

 

The file is currently under review. You can also download it from the project's GitHub releases. Thanks for your interest!

The project reviewer helpfully suggested that I use Maven's shade plugin and its minimizeJar feature, which reduced the size by about half. Embedding JSP seems to be pretty expensive, unfortunately.

Oh hey! I know you from your post about embedding jetty! Thanks for helping my Google searches.

bluej100 My admin panel is about 16 MB with all dependencies, I have no clue how dynmap does it, 3 MB thats crazy...

 

Yeah, impressive.
