NEED HELP WITH BUKKIT PLUGIN

Is there an easy way to create a bukkit plugin other than using eclipse? If so, could you tell me? If there isn't, can you post some helpful tutorials.

 

I use spring source, its better than eclipse IMO because it has stuff like maven built it, free too!

I wish I could help you more but Im only at the point where I can look at people's plugin and kinda see whats going on and edit a few minor things

 

Thank you, but can you answer my question?
(EDIT: Sorry, I thought you posted something else. Thanks anyways! Could you reccomend someone? Also, can I be whitelisted for your server? Username: Rainfur)

Sorry for double posting, but could you help me with SpringSource?

Hey there @Rainfur
I don't really like SpringSource
I tried it out months ago,
and I truely prefer Eclipse
-----------------------------
Yoou have to spend time learning how to use eclipse
And then you get to the point where you are known by the community

 

I think the only way to make a plugin is to write (or modify) on yourself. I'm reading this at the moment: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/howto-getting-started-in-q-and-a-format.1445/
specifically the "I don't know Java" link, because I don't
Download the bukkit source too, 'cos that will definitely be handy for all the classes and methods you want to use.

 

I will check out that post and tell him if that will help!

 

Thanks! But now I have another question. How do you program in java? Sorry if I am getting annoying....

 

Wow,
that question my friend is very hard to tell .. LOL
I know how-to but dont know how to explain it in words
Google it and there will be million of sites with that info!

 

Ok.
But why do you perfer Eclipse?

(EDIT: I'm at the point where i can look at a plugin and change a few things. Long way to go.)

 

What IDE you use is completely up to you - it wont (majorly) change anything in your project and it is really just a matter of comfort...java is java regardless of if youre using eclipse, netbeans, springsource, or any other IDE

 

Oh... Ok thanks!

 

Notepad ++
(TROLOLOLOLOLOL)
Ahem.. *Cough* *Cough* ECLIPSE!

 

I think i will stick with eclipse.....

 

Meet in the middle? Netbeans is all I used. When I first started with bukkit plugins I thought u had to use eclipse, I almost died. Netbeans is a lot better for me. =)

 

You can also use Netbeans IDE
