You no longer need to create a startup message + Logger Instance

Yes, I just noticed. I intentionally didn't want one so I didn't add one. Turns out Bukkit automagically put one in for me.

It defaults to:
[INFO] [Plugin Name] Loading PluginName v(version number).
and
[INFO] [Plugin Name] Unloading PluginName v(version number).

 

I still use it as I used it from the beginning at the last line in onEnable(). So if both lines are there everything is fine, if only the loading one something went wrong.

 

Also another addition with Logging:
plugin.getLogger();
This will now return the main instance of Bukkit's Logger.

 

Pretty sure that's always been there, or at least through a server object.

 

Well it's another thing I've not noticed before.

 

I believe plugin.getLogger() will get a logger that automatically prepends your plugin name to your log messages.

 

Cool, a two line change.

 

I noticed this a few days ago. When I have the chance I'll remove my startup messages from my plugins.

It says "loading <pluginname>"
That points to that the plugin load'ing'
In my case, I always use "loaded"
So it'll turn to something like this:

Code:

"Loading AgreatPlugin"
..
"Loaded AgreatPlugin"
