help me with plugin.

hey im new to java, but i understand the raw basics, however i have been stuck on this for 2 days now, just wanted to know how to fix it.

the problem im having is the 'plugin' text gets underlined, eclipse says 'plugin cannot be resolved to a type'

has bukkit change the 'plugin' to something else?

Code:java

if(plugin.getConfig().getBoolean("Wood_Planks") == true) {
  MyPlugin.put(Integer.valueOf(5), Boolean.valueOf(true));
  getLogger().info("Wooden Planks has been enabled");
}
if(plugin.getConfig().getBoolean("Wood_Planks") == false) {
   getLogger().info("Wooden Planks has been disabled");
}

seeing that colour (yes its colour not color) code i feel like im missing some code somewhere, if you could tell me what the problem is and what i need to do to fix it, that would be awesome

 

MoseMister what variable is that? Where do you initialize it?

 

MoseMister
Have you declared plugin like this, before the onEnable on your main class?

Code:java

private static nameOfYourMainClass plugin;

If the answer is 'yes', are you trying to execute that code in another class?

 

You need to define variables before using them.

Use the "this" keyword in this case. "this" points the object itself.

You can simply use

Code:java

 
if(this.getConfig().getBoolean("Wood_Planks"){
    //do something
}else{
    getLogger().info("Wooden planks is disabled");
}
 

the if(booleanValue==true) is not needed

 

sorry, non of those work.
Zughy - your just comes up with a underline under plugin and the mainclass

louis - your gives me a load of errors

MoseMister

Code:

16:35:44 Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File cannot be null

so add this to your onenable

Code:java

saveDefaultConfig();

 

where are you running this code from? Assuming this is being ran from whichever class you are extending "JavaPlugin" I would make sure that your plugin variable is not only created but instantiated. To do this (putting together a few of the things others have said as well)

Code:

private static nameOfYourMainClass plugin;
 
@Override
public void onEnable() {
  plugin = this;
  // ... all your other code
}

This will allow you to continue using your exact code you already have, as long as you saveDefaultConfig() as shawshark suggested.

sorry guys, that did not work, this is the error
http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/avbs3jyd25phx8me/
if someone could help me that would be awesome

 

MoseMister
Line 17 of that error as I said before.

Check if there is there a config generating?

 

i have added that, thats the error that came with it.
heres the code inside the onenable

Code:java

 public void onEnable()
{
plugin = this;
Object blok = null;
 
PluginManager PM = getServer().getPluginManager();
PM.registerEvents(new ShipsListener(), this);
 
PluginDescriptionFile p = this.getDescription();
this.log.info(p.getName() + " V" + p.getVersion() + " only tested on 2940 and 2935");
 
ShipsSettings.LoadSettings();
 
getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
saveDefaultConfig();
reloadConfig();

could it be that its thinking the inside the jar file is not the default config?

 

MoseMister Post your main class. You are probably trying to use getConfig() before onEnable().

 

sorry guys got it working thx to a friend of mine
