Is there an easy way to create a bukkit plugin other than using eclipse? If so, could you tell me? If there isn't, can you post some helpful tutorials.
I use spring source, its better than eclipse IMO because it has stuff like maven built it, free too! I wish I could help you more but Im only at the point where I can look at people's plugin and kinda see whats going on and edit a few minor things
Thank you, but can you answer my question? (EDIT: Sorry, I thought you posted something else. Thanks anyways! Could you reccomend someone? Also, can I be whitelisted for your server? Username: Rainfur) Sorry for double posting, but could you help me with SpringSource? EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Hey there @Rainfur I don't really like SpringSource I tried it out months ago, and I truely prefer Eclipse ----------------------------- Yoou have to spend time learning how to use eclipse And then you get to the point where you are known by the community
I think the only way to make a plugin is to write (or modify) on yourself. I'm reading this at the moment: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/howto-getting-started-in-q-and-a-format.1445/ specifically the "I don't know Java" link, because I don't Download the bukkit source too, 'cos that will definitely be handy for all the classes and methods you want to use.
Thanks! But now I have another question. How do you program in java? Sorry if I am getting annoying....
Wow, that question my friend is very hard to tell .. LOL I know how-to but dont know how to explain it in words Google it and there will be million of sites with that info!
Ok. But why do you perfer Eclipse? (EDIT: I'm at the point where i can look at a plugin and change a few things. Long way to go.)
What IDE you use is completely up to you - it wont (majorly) change anything in your project and it is really just a matter of comfort...java is java regardless of if youre using eclipse, netbeans, springsource, or any other IDE
Meet in the middle? Netbeans is all I used. When I first started with bukkit plugins I thought u had to use eclipse, I almost died. Netbeans is a lot better for me. =)
