Running the Plugin

So I'm new to plugin making, and I've made a basic plugin with a basic command, I exported the plugin the way the guide says to, I've put it into my plugins folder and run the server, however for some reason the command doesn't work ingame, and it's as if the plugin isnt there?

Anybody know the issue?

Feel free to ask more information,


Thanks.

When you say you're new to plugin making, does that also include "new to Java" or "new to Programming"?

 

Phishy You should get a stack-trace in the console when the server starts up saying that your plugin could not be enabled for whatever reason. My guess is something is wrong with your plugin.yml but we won't know for sure until we see the log.

timtower What do you mean by the right location?

 

Phishy can you post our full classes?

 

Phishy No plugins are being enabled in that log so you probably did not export it correctly.

Tim, yes I did

Skionz, any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Phishy
Did you compile to a JAR file format?

 

timtower Have some fun!

No, I did what the video did

When I export it says *.Jar;*.Zip

JordyPwner Can you see anything wrong with the file I just posted?

It's not a JAR file.

 

Phishy Normally i do not spoonfeed but cause im happy today

Here you go:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Code:java

    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
 
        if(!(sender instanceof Player)){
            sender.sendMessage("Only Players can do this!");
        }
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("Hello")){
            sender.sendMessage("Hello " + sender.getName() + "!");
        }
        return false;
 
 
    }

And on enable put this:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Code:java

        getCommand("Hello").setExecutor(this);

And register the Command in the plugin.yml

 

Gater12 How do I make it into a jar file?


JordyPwner Thanks, I did all that, and it still doesn't work, I have a feeling its something to do with exporting, any ideas?

 

Phishy
Did you choose to compile to a JAR file at the beginning of the Export process?
