@EventHandler cannot be resolved to a type! Pls Help!

Hello everyone! I have an error with this code that said, "EventHandler cannot be resolved to a type":

Code:

package com.cadenfarley.bukkitplugin;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerLoginEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Bukkit_Plugin extends JavaPlugin{
    //defines this as a CraftBukkit Plugin.
    public static Bukkit_Plugin plugin;
    public class myPlayerListener implements Listener {
        @EventHandler
        public void onPlayerInteractBlock(PlayerInteractEvent evt){
            if(evt.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getTypeId() == Material.FISHING_ROD.getId()){
                //maximal distance between player and thunder is 200 blocks
                evt.getPlayer().getWorld().strikeLightning(evt.getPlayer().getTargetBlock(null, 200).getLocation());
            }
        }
    }
 
    //when the server shuts down
    @Override
    public void onDisable(){
 
    }
 
    //when the server starts up
    @Override
    public void onEnable(){
        System.out.println("Loading Bukkit_Plugin");
    }
 
 
 
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        //if the command is "hello"
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("hello")){
            //send a message in rainbow colors
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "G");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "r");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "e");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "e");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + "t");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "i");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "n");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "g");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "s ");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "from the Console!");
   
   
            return true;
        }
 
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("h")){
            player.setHealth(20);
            player.sendMessage("Hooray! you have been healed!");
        }
 
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("killme")){
            player.setHealth(0);
        }
 
        return false;
    }
 
 
}

the "@EventHandler" is the line with the error. I have looked this up on google many times, and I it looks like I did everything right. I used this page:wiki.bukkit.org/Introduction_to_the_New_Event_System. (delete the %3E at the end). In case you need it, here is my plugin.yml:

Code:

name: Bukkit_Plugin
main: com.cadenfarley.bukkitplugin.Bukkit_Plugin
version: 0.1
commands:
  hello:
    description: derp
    usage: /hello
  h:
    description: derp
    usage: /h
  killme:
    description: derp
    usage: /killme

Please note that I am a kid and a beginner at java, but I have experience with programming in Xcode(iPhone apps).

Thanks much!

 

if you are using eclipse, try saving the file, then trying to import it. that usually helps for me

 

You are going to need to add EventHandler to your imports:

Code:

import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;

 

Thanks pqqqqq, but it doesn't recognize the package. =(

 

Hmm, are you sure that:
A) You have the proper version of bukkit
B) You put the import in the right place
C) The project is properly built?

 

You didn't register Events.

Put it onEnable()

PluginManager pm = this.getServer().getPluginManager();
pm.registerEvents(this, this);

 

one quick thing i noticed,

Code:java

 
public static Bukkit_Plugin plugin;
 

You never actually defined plugin, in your onEnable() method, put plugin = this;

 

Use an IDE.

 

Ok, now for some reason, Eclipse stopped throwing a fit about the import statement, but it was in the same place as before:
package com.cadenfarley.bukkitplugin;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;

public class Bukkit_Plugin extends JavaPlugin implements Listener{
//defines this as a CraftBukkit Plugin.
public static Bukkit_Plugin plugin;

//when the server shuts down
@Override
public void onDisable(){

}

//when the server starts up
@Override
public void onEnable(){
System.out.println("Loading Bukkit_Plugin");
plugin = this;
PluginManager pm = this.getServer().getPluginManager();
pm.registerEvents(this, this);
System.out.println("=====================================");
System.out.println("Bukkit_Plugin has loaded successfuly!");
System.out.println("=====================================");
}

public class myPlayerListener implements Listener {
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteractBlock(PlayerInteractEvent evt){
if(evt.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getTypeId() == Material.FISHING_ROD.getId()){
//maximal distance between player and thunder is 200 blocks
evt.getPlayer().getWorld().strikeLightning(evt.getPlayer().getTargetBlock(null, 200).getLocation());
}
}
}



public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
Player player = (Player) sender;
//if the command is "hello"
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("hello")){
//send a message in rainbow colors
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "G");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "r");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "e");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "e");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + "t");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "i");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "n");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "g");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "s ");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "from the Console!");


return true;
}

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("h")){
player.setHealth(20);
player.sendMessage("Hooray! you have been healed!");
}

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("killme")){
player.setHealth(0);
}

return false;
}


}

now there are 2 gray errors, one is still on "EventHandler" and the other is on "registerEvents". btw, i have eclipse 3.7.1, and my bukkit jar is called: bukkit-1.3.1-R2.0.jar

 

@UP You should implement Listener:

public class Bukkit_Plugin extends JavaPlugin implements Listener

 

Where's your @EventHandler anyways?

 

package com.cadenfarley.bukkitplugin;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerInteractEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;

public class Bukkit_Plugin extends JavaPlugin implements Listener{
//defines this as a CraftBukkit Plugin.
public static Bukkit_Plugin plugin;

//when the server shuts down
@Override
public void onDisable(){

}

//when the server starts up
@Override
public void onEnable(){
System.out.println("Loading Bukkit_Plugin");
plugin = this;
PluginManager pm = this.getServer().getPluginManager();
pm.registerEvents(this, this);
System.out.println("=====================================");
System.out.println("Bukkit_Plugin has loaded successfuly!");
System.out.println("=====================================");
}

public class myPlayerListener implements Listener {
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteractBlock(PlayerInteractEvent evt){
if(evt.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getTypeId() == Material.FISHING_ROD.getId()){
//maximal distance between player and thunder is 200 blocks
evt.getPlayer().getWorld().strikeLightning(evt.getPlayer().getTargetBlock(null, 200).getLocation());
}
}
}



public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
Player player = (Player) sender;
//if the command is "hello"
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("hello")){
//send a message in rainbow colors
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "G");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "r");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "e");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "e");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + "t");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + "i");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "n");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "g");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + "s ");
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "from the Console!");


return true;
}

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("h")){
player.setHealth(20);
player.sendMessage("Hooray! you have been healed!");
}

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("killme")){
player.setHealth(0);
}

return false;
}


}

sorry about that

This seems to work after all! Thank you! No errors, but it doesn't do what its supposed to do: If you are holding a fishing pole, strike lightning wherever the bobber lands.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Code:

public class myPlayerListener implements Listener {
@EventHandler
public void onPlayerInteractBlock(PlayerInteractEvent evt){
if(evt.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getTypeId() == Material.FISHING_ROD.getId()){
//maximal distance between player and thunder is 200 blocks
evt.getPlayer().getWorld().strikeLightning(evt.getPlayer().getTargetBlock(null, 200).getLocation());
}

Why are you trying to define a new class within a class?

 

...... I feel dumb...... Well thanks ALOT TO ALL WHO TRIED TO HELP A YOUNG PROGRAMMER!!!! It works! The reason why I was trying to define a new class (I didn't know that at the time) was that I copied it as a code snippet and i didn't know that i already had that. Thanks again,
Caden
