    Hey guys,

    at the moment, I'm currently creating a UI for Bukkit servers (written in Java, and cross-platform, unlike the current program), but I'd like to add a custom plugin, to easily handle tasks, etc. Now, as I won't always be able to keep up with current server development, I'd like the plugin I'm creating to work on as many versions of Craftbukkit as possible. Now, I'm a fairly experienced developer, and as far as I'm aware, things written for older versions of a program, should also essentially work in newer versions.

    Now, is this the case for Craftbukkit, or am I completely mistaken here?

    As long as you stay on the Bukkit API, it shouldn't break easily. As new updates come, your program is bound to get errors/bugs, all depends on what the plugin does. For example if the plugin is to simply gives someone creative mode, you can count on it working for quite a long time.

    Yeah, it does something almost as simple as that. It's just going to manage some JVM stuff, nothing that should break. But you know, better safe than sorry.
    Now to search for the 1.2.5 API... <RollEyes/>

    There you go. Should be somewhere around page 11.
    You could also add something to activate/deactivate certain features for certain versions, if they don't support them.

    Thanks for the help, guys. Using the 1.2.5-R4.0 API and it's working like a charm. There's only one kink, but that's because I'm casting a double to an int, but I'll find a way :D

    Thanks!
    It looks even better, when it's done (posted it to BukkitDev, just waiting for it to get accepted):
