Error I can't find, Bukkit won't load plugin

Hello. I am in development of a plugin that is similar to factions. There's a big problem though. Whenever I go to register the plugin into my server's plugin folder and start the server, Bukkit doesn't even start loading the plugin. It doesn't even show up in the stack-trace once. I'll post my code below and hopefully you guys can help me.

Thanks for all the help, I really appriciate it!

When I was pasting the code over, sometimes this forum posted two words together for some reason. That's not the error. Thanks

 

Check before casting! read my signature.
Stop abusing static, it ruins the concept of OOP, use constructors and parameters to pass info rather than static.
Make sure:
1. plugin is placed in the right folder,
2. there is a plugin.yml
3. bukkit console says "loading <yourplugin'sname>"
4. if there is a stacktrace please post it .

 

1. Check 2. Check 3. Doesn't say 4. None

@mine-care also, does the static ruin any of the plugin or is it just a preference thing?

 

Memory leaks.

 

It ruins OOP.
Also your Main class doesn't need a constructor and a stacktrace will help greatly.

 

@haydenaa If the plugin is in the plugin folders and it doesn't load, then there must be a stacktrace, or you're not putting plugin.yml.

 

@ChipDev Got it

@teej107 There is no point of posting a stack trace, it doesn't even mention the plugin once in it. Also, I need a constructor for the main class because I need it to be static because in my SLAPI class some of the methods are only static.

@Konato_K There's no stack trace... like I said before.... and i've checked my plugin.yml about 50 times now.

Plugin.yml:

Code:

main: com.guildlaunch.platinumverse.republics.Main
name: Republics
version: 1.0
commands:
  republics:
    description: Main Command for Republics
    usage: /republics

Where com.guildlaunch.platinumverse.republics is my package and Main is my main class

<merged by Eyamaz. 5 posts! Use the edit button!>

 

Don't declare a constructor in your main class. Use onEnable for initialisation. If you truly believe you need an explicitly declared constructor, this should be a no-arg constructor.

 

@haydenaa

There is nothing saying that static methods may only be invoked from static contexts, why in the world would you think you NEED static for that? Just access it in your onEnable(), also what Rocoty said.

Creating a separate constructor will effectively delete the default constructor, which Bukkit relies on to instantiate your plugin. You cannot create another constructor, and doing so makes no difference at all, as you have no control over the instantiation of the class anyway.

 

@Rocoty @mythbusterma Ok, so would it be ok to do something like this:

Code:

Plugin plugin;
public void onEnable() {
plugin = this;
}

public void onDisable() {
plugin = null;
}

Saw that from someone else with the same difficulties, trying not to use static but then how would they access the method from a different class? Not the best with these types of situations but don't you dare go tell me to read a 1000 page java book, I know enough about this stuff, thank you.

 

@haydenaa It's a waste declaring a variable and initializing it as the class object. Like you have done, just use this to reference the class. If you are wondering how to access information from different classes, do it the proper way and use getters, setters, and encapsulation.

 

@haydenaa And also static can cause ram leaks when used over variables (non primitive datatypes) when server reloads.

 

@teej107 Thanks for the links, I knew about getters and setters already. I still have a question about accessing information from different classes though. Before I was using static, because it worked and kind of made sense to me. Should I try:

Code:

private Main plugin = new Main();
public Main getMain() {
      return plugin;
}

Yeah, I tested this, it still won't allow me to access this from a different class.

I watched a tutorial on how to make an economy plugin, will post the code for the accessor here:

Code:

private static Main plugin;
public EconomyManager(Main instance) {
plugin = instance;
}
public static Main getPlugin() {
return plugin;
}

And then inside a different class to access it:

Code:

private static Main plugin = EconomyManager.getPlugin();

So here this guy uses the static in order to access it in a different class, and it works perfectly fine, so i'm not sure why I can't use static in at least my getClass methods

@mine-care @teej107 @Rocoty @mythbusterma So can we get back to the topic, what is the error here? Is it my constructor?

 

@haydenaa No one says you can't use static for this to work. What we're saying is that if you decide to use static in this way your code will gradually become less maintainable as it gets more complex. It will look ugly and errors will be hard to track down. You'll also be regarded as a bad developer by any decent developer out there. Making the variable static like you did there makes no sense in an OOP environment.

So I recommend you find a good book about Java and read it until you understand a little bit more about what OOP is all about. It would help you greatly.

 

From a Java stance, yes that looks good as long as you have an instance of the object that the method is in. From a Bukkit stand point, you should never instantiate your JavaPlugin class.

 

@teej107 then what am I supposed to do? I don't see a way of accessing the JavaPlugin enviroment in a different class without using a static method.

 

@haydenaa

 

@haydenaa Constructors, accessors, mutators.

 

@haydenaa

The issue is that everything is so poorly referenced that none of us can decipher what the issue may be. Plus, you still won't post the stack trace, which I'm certain does reference your plugin.

Um, no, you don't.

 

@teej107 Yeah, got that link before, looking through it and nothing that it says really is answering how to access a method from a different class..

Try to find my plugin in that

 

Get the object instance, access any public method! LIKE MAGIC!!!!!!

Did they give a valid reason? Because that's bull****.

 

Got it, but...

Doesn't that mean i'm not supposed to access the JavaPlugin methods from a different class then?

 

@haydenaa Pretty sure he meant "instantiate", which is a whole lot different from "initialize". Basically, you should never explicitly create a new instance of your main class, because it makes no sense for you to do so. That's supposed to happen internally in Bukkit once, and only once.

 

@Rocoty Yes I did mean that. Correcting my post now.

 

@haydenaa

By "poorly referenced," I mean the way you maintain references, i.e. STATIC EVERYTHIGN HIRUURDDRUURR

Fix that, and we might be able to actually understand what is going on in there.

 

@Rocoty @teej107 then how do I access the JavaPlugin methods from a different class other than my main??
@mythbusterma why can't you understand it the way it is right now...

 

@haydenaa

When developers try to visualise and understand code, they rely on a set of skills that they have honed for years that they use to dissect other people's code.

Using static references all over the place breaks the flow/structure that experienced developers have come to expect and makes it very difficult for us to understand what you're doing.

You access them by passing a reference of your JavaPlugin class to your dependent classes.

@1Rogue so something like...

Code:

private Main main;
public Main(Main instance) {
this.main = instance;
}
public Main() {}

If that works, does it disturb Bukkit and Minecraft's way of accessing the plugin through the predefined constructor, or not?
