getServer().getOnlinePlayers() with a static function?

Hey guys!

I got a problem with my plugin. My goal is that my PlayerListener (onPlayerJoin) is able to get all the online players in a Playerarray.
The problem is: I cannot use "MyPlugin.getServer().getOnlinePlayers()" in "onPlayerJoin(..)".
But how shall I get it then?
Would be wonderful if you know an answer.. (sitting now 2 hours on this )

Thank you for help,

Bukkit.getServer().getOnlinePlayers()
mayby is that the solution, the next time, look at the javadocs, dont forget to import it

 

Thank you for helping me n00b

JavaDocs looks pretty cool - will use this the next time when I have such a problem!

 

Your player join monitoring method should not be static. In fact, if you're so new to java that you don't know how to access non-static elements within a static method you really shouldn't be doing anything static yet

 

Okay, I see. But why does it count as an error in Eqlipse when I just do MyPlugin.getServer().getOnlinePlayers()?

 

Because getServer() is'nt static in MyPlugin, you need an instance of MyPlugin in a variable to use that method. (It is static on Bukkit.getServer())
