Solved "Method is never used" when events are registered.

For some weird reason the event I put in is not registering and the method is constantly saying that it's never used. I even tried registering it in another class and it still gave the same message. I feel like I'm missing something that's right in front of me. Please help.

Code:

package me.commandcore.smpwarplugin;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

/**

public class SMPWARPlugin extends JavaPlugin implements Listener{

    public void onEnable(){
        getLogger().info(getDescription().getName() + " has been enabled!");

        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);

    }

    public void onDisable(){
        getLogger().info(getDescription().getName() + " has been disabled!");
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event){
        event.getPlayer().sendMessage("Hi!");
    }

}

 

In onEnable register Your event in another class


Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new OnJoin(),this);

Also if you want to use the main class replace new OnJoin() with "this"

Using this you register the class as an actual event listener

 

Hey, extremely sorry for the late reply, I've been busy lately. It worked! I'm not sure why is says that it was never used, but it works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks for the help guys!

If your problem has been solved, mark this thread as solved.

The reason for this is that your IDE (which is what alerts you to these sorts of things) can't see that the Bukkit API will call this method, because the Bukkit API uses Reflection to do it.
