Importing an old plugin into Eclipse

**If this is the wrong section please tell me

Hello!

A while back, I lost everything on my computer, being the reason I left bukkit for a while..
I was wondering if I could take plugins I have(download them from Bukkit) and put them in Eclipse?

Thanks for any help!

 

As long as your not taking ownership for work you didnt do its fine

 

@vhbob I know-- they are mine.

I don't know how to import them (easily) into Eclipse.

 

@sgavster Make a new folder, right click it, then hit import and import your file!

 

@sgavster And you have to decompile it, if you haven't already.

 

@sgavster

As long as you didn't do anything stupid with your code (read: obfuscated), you should be able to decompile it no issues, you'll probably have to pull the plugin.yml and other resources directly from the .jar, however.

 

Download java decompiler

 

@EstToxicGaming That's completely not needed. Why would I do that, if I really wanted I could just extract the jar.. I want an easy way to do it.

Edit: I didn't mean to sound rude. I just need an easier way.

 

@sgavster To get the code from a jar, you have to decompile it. Hence, download a decompiler.

 

@nverdier I thought there was another way.

Isn't there a way to extract the files and put them in eclipse?

I really don't want to copy-paste a 20-class plugin..

 

@sgavster
1) Download the jar.
2) Decompile it.
3) Save all sources.
4) Import to Eclipse.

Also, I'd recommend IntelliJ, just sayin'
