[Inactive/GUI][Windows/Mac/Ubuntu]BukkitController v1.0.8

The BukkitController - A Java based controlling overview for your Server!

I am pretty sure I won't continue working on this program! That’s why I removed the download link for now! If so desired, I will consider putting it back i! Thank you for your support.



You know the feeling, when you are a plugin developer and you have to reload your Server over and over? This can cause a memory leak and you should better restart the Server every single time!
But who has the time for that?

That's why I created the BukkitController:

• Simple Start/Stop/Restart
• Completely in Java, Operating System independent
• Advanced control over server properties
• Colorized log
• Built-In editor with file overview
• Built-In Console

And much more !
You are interested? Then take a look at the features list!

LAUNCHER (open) LAUNCHER (close)

I programmed two different types of launching. Both of them have advantages and disadvantages and work differently:

MultiProcessLauncher
This launcher creates a new process, sends the input and reads the output!

+	-
Restart works	No commands list
Craftbukkit can be anywhere	No Server data accessible
RAM amount of Server can be defined

​

InvocationLauncher
This launcher loads all the classes from CraftBukkit and calls their main method!

+	-
Full access to any data of the Server!	No restart possible (yet)
Craftbukkit file must be in the same folder as the BukkitController
Uses the Max Ram of the BukkitController

​

Even if it looks doesn't look so good for the InvocationLauncher, parts of the whole Application are build on this launcher type and can't used without it. So decide on your own, which one you are going to use.

This list is also going to be changed when I implement new features to minimize the disadvantages!!

HOW TO USE IT (open) HOW TO USE IT (close)

3. How to start the Server?
   • Click the "Start" button
   1. Change to the Console panel
   2. Type Start in the bottom field
   3. Press Enter or click the Send button
4. How to uninstall?
   1. Delete the BukkitController.jar
   2. On Mac: Go to the folder /Users/YOUR-USERNAME/Library/Application Support/PNGamingPower and delete the folder BukkitController.

Placeholder....

 

I really do like this, but there is a small bug/glitch.

When I close Bukkit Controller, then reopen it to run my server and hit run, it just freezes completely the application stops responding and I have to open the task magager to close it.

Help please?
And a few more minor bugs:
1. MOTD doesn't work
2. The select box options are kind of screw up, as in they rest themselves
3. I'm downloading v1.0.5 SNAPSHOT, running 1.0.2?
I am using a Windows Vista(x86), and thanks if you fix these!

 

Taco_Herobrine
I am glad you like it.

I have the answers for your problems:
1. Fixed it, there was an error in the auto reloading
2. What do you mean? Please explain this a little bit more
3. The language files weren't updated, you had 1.0.5 but the language files said 1.0.2
That should be fixed too!

About the freezing: Do you start the application, start the server, stop the server, application restarts, and then it freezes?

Thank you for the bug reports!

 

Okay it seems like everything is fine right now and you guys are appreciating this program. Still I would be very happy about any kind of response!

 

Looks Great

 

Help me PNGamingPower I can not open this file and writes me that you can not run the archive jar Help Pliss reply

 

Mmmmm, swing. UI design at its finest.

 

Mr_Progress what do you mean? What operating system do you use? Does it tell you that it can't run the jar archive when you start the server? If so, what version of Bukkit do you want to run?

Sushi yeah I was thinking of changing to JavaFX but stuck with Swing after I redesigned the UI twice... Wait a second was that sarcasm??

 

URL Shortened links have been removed. We do not allow URL shorteners. Direct downloads only please.

 

TnT okay sorry, can I offer both like I did before? Or is there another way of gathering statistics for myself?

 

You can offer direct downloads only. We do not allow URL shorteners.

 

My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium, and as I click start to me it is written: (help?

 

So i saw the two different launchers that you must choose between, and i must say, would it be possible to use something like, JSONAPI?
There is a iphone app called adminium that allows you to check your server, all it uses is JSONAPI, a plugin.
You configure it a bit.
then you just log in with the ip, port, username-password, and salt on the program, would it be possible to just have this , cause it allows so much control, console, chat, player inventorys, file editor, even dynmap
Just some ideas

 

Create a mediafire account. That will give you stats

 

Christian77777 Thanks for the great idea! I am going to look into that. But right now I have another project going on which has a higher priority, and it also has to do with this one.

Ivan Thats a good idea I didn't think off.
But yeah I was working on another solution the last few weeks. I am going to upload my own website soon, and there it will be possible to download it from.

 

Mr_Progress that doesn't help me...

 

No download link

 

I removed the download link, but I eventually put it back if so desired

 

PLEASE PM me the download link or put it back. I hate the iTerm and Terminal and BukkitGUI is only for mac. Please!

 

Please PM the link also!

 

Pretty nice. Java is a perfect programming language, it's multiplatform.
Good luck
