This is a simple plugin preloader library, consisting of a single Java class. Shade this class in your plugin, and refer to is as your main entrypoint. Next, add a preloader section to your plugin.yml, like as follows:
main: com.bergerkiller.bukkit.mw.Preloader
preloader:
main: com.bergerkiller.bukkit.mw.MyWorlds
hastebinServer: https://paste.traincarts.net
commands: [world, myworlds]
depend:
BKCommonLib: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/bkcommonlib.39590/- Checks that all dependencies are actually enabled
- Handles errors during plugin main class construction/onLoad()
- Remains functional on failure to inform people ingame that the plugin could not be enabled, and why
- Installs an event listener to tell ops about it on join
- Tells players when they use the plugin's main commands
- More gracefully handles missing dependencies so your Discord isn't spammed by people that forgot to install it
- Completely transparent when there is no problem. Swaps out the preloader main plugin instance with your actual one.
- Native support integration with BKCommonLib and its PluginBase API
You will probably need to add the repository:
<repository>
<id>MG-Dev Jenkins CI Maven Repository</id>
<url>https://ci.mg-dev.eu/plugin/repository/everything</url>
</repository>Then add the dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.bergerkiller.bukkit.preloader</groupId>
<artifactId>PluginPreloader</artifactId>
<version>1.5</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>Then finally, shade it into your plugin's jar file at a custom package using maven shade plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<createDependencyReducedPom>true</createDependencyReducedPom>
<relocations>
<relocation>
<pattern>com.bergerkiller.bukkit.preloader</pattern>
<shadedPattern>com.bergerkiller.bukkit.mw</shadedPattern>
</relocation>
</relocations>
<artifactSet>
<includes>
<include>com.bergerkiller.bukkit.preloader</include>
</includes>
</artifactSet>
</configuration>
</plugin>If you're shading other things in too you might want to leave createDependencyReducedPom on false instead.
