    No problem! Again thanks for this tutorial, this helped me to get started with programming plugins =)
    Btw, i don't want to put you under pressure, but when do you think you will release the next tutorial?

    Keep up the good work!

    Hi.
    I started programming in Java some weeks ago.
    I'm administrator of a Minecraft-Server and I'm currently programming a plugin for it.
    But there's one problem:
    When I copy this code into my Plugin.java-File I get an error at this line (it's in the constructor):
    Code:
    super(pluginLoader, instance, desc, plugin, plugin, cLoader);
    This is the error-message:
    Code:
    The constructor JavaPlugin(PluginLoader, Server, PluginDescriptionFile, File, ClassLoader) is undefined
    I think something has changed in the Plugin-API so this doesn't work anymore. It says that I should add another File-argument so that the constructor looks like this:
    Code:
    public D3Whitelist(PluginLoader, Server, PluginDescriptionFile, File, File, ClassLoader)
    But what is this File-object good for?

    Sorry, my English isn't that good but I hope you understand what I'm asking.

    The source you link to is the sample plugin on the wiki and is not related to the basic plugin.
    That tutorial is outdated and the new was is below.
    Replace with this.
    Code:
    public D3Whitelist(PluginLoader pluginLoader, Server instance, PluginDescriptionFile desc, File folder, File plugin, ClassLoader cLoader)
      {
        super(pluginLoader, instance, desc, folder, plugin, cLoader);
      }
    Hope that solves your problem. :)

    Thanks a lot for this tutorial, I would have had to try to cannibalize half the plugins on the forum and gone partially insane without it!

    Great way to get my foot in the door of the world of Java.

    Edit: Probably just something dumb I did but I get this :(

    This normally occurs with an iccorect yml file.
    Place it in the .jar
    Also make sure the yml file has new lines.
    ie
    Code:
    name: Name
    main: com.bukkit.samkio.Package.Name
    version: 1.00

    Idk what to do. I've tried like every case combination possible, but it's com.bukkit.seed419.basic.Basic in eclipse.

    Actually, I'm getting a different error now...hold on let me double check everything...

    Make sure the jar is in the plugin directory and the .yml is correct.

    Your welcome :D

    Great tutorial, thanks! I program in C++ and PHP for a living...no prior experience with Java, and this tutorial was easy to follow.

    Hi, i'm new here - i was at the HMOD forums before bukkit came, And i've made a few small plugins for HMOD before so i'm not new to Eclipse, just Bukkit, I tried to follow your tutorial but due to the fact you copy-pasted i never saw code off to the side on the pm.registerEvent parts, I got most of the areguments but i cant figure out what Argument 4 is supposed to be (It asks for four arguments, in your video only 2 1/2 showed on the first pm.registerEvent and 3 shows on the second) so i can't figure out the rest.
