Solved Packaging Third Party Resources into Plugin

Hello,

I asked this in another thread similar to the topic, but it was a post and no-one probably saw it.

I am trying to use apache commons.io in my plugin. I added it to my build path just like I do with Bukkit and the program compiles just fine. The issue is when running it on the server, it can't find the commons.io resource I depend on.

Here are pictures of my directories and my exporting options. Can anyone help me figure out why it isn't finding the resource?





Any suggestions?

 

You need build your plugin with Apache Maven and then use the Maven Shade plugin to compile commons.io into your plugin at build time.

There are dozens of tutorials online for using Maven and Shade with bukkit.

 

You are only depending on the lib, not 'shading'/including it.

 

Thanks deltahat

I was able to figure it out.

For those who are struggling, I found this thread and desht's response helps:
