why is getServer() undefined when i try to use it in a class that doesn't extend javaplugin

The title says it all really... getServer() is undefined in a class that doesnt extend javaplugin .. why? and how do i get around this?

Thanks in advance

 

That's how Java works. getServer() is a method defined for the Class JavaPlugin, therefore you can only call it in that class or its children.

EDIT: Forget what was here before, there is a much simpler method. Just use:

Code:

Bukkit.getServer();

That works from everywhere.

 

thanks allot I'll try it out now

If you don't quite understand EvenPrime I have some code that'll tell you how to do it.
In another class file or somewhere where getServer() is undefined, do this.
In your main class put this

Code:

Mainclassname Mainclassname = new Mainclassname();

Them say in a playerListener, do this

Code:

Mainclassname.getServer();

 

ah yes i didnt even think of doing this aha, i mean i do it for all of the methods i make, guess because this is a built in one i didnt think of it thanks
