[UTIL] AuxFileConfiguration Implementation

I've often found out that I needed multiple file that used Bukkit's YAML configuration API. Thus I created this. It is essentially a class to remove the redundancy of creating many separate classes for different files.

To use (Replace "this" with the name of the class that extends JavaPlugin):

Code:java

@Override
public void onEnable() {
 
AuxFileUtil util = new AuxFileUtil(this, "example");
 
}

Class itself:

Code:java

/**

        fileConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);

Make sure you set "plugin" to null after being disabled...
