Usage

Add this jar to your pom.xml to enable automatic annotation-based plugin.yml generation.

The only required annotation is the @Plugin annotation. All other annotations are optional. See the wiki for more information.

Example Usage

@Plugin(name = "TestPlugin", version = "1.0")
@Description("A test plugin")
@LoadOrder(PluginLoadOrder.STARTUP)
@Author("md_5")
@Website("www.spigotmc.org")
@LogPrefix("Testing")
@Library("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.9.0")
@Dependency("WorldEdit")
@Dependency("Towny")
@LoadBefore("Towny")
@SoftDependency("EssentialsX")
@Commands(@Command(name = "foo", desc = "Foo command", aliases = {"foobar", "fubar"}, permission = "test.foo", permissionMessage = "You do not have permission!", usage = "/<command> [test|stop]"))
@Permission(name = "test.foo", desc = "Allows foo command", defaultValue = PermissionDefault.OP)
@Permission(name = "test.*", desc = "Wildcard permission", defaultValue = PermissionDefault.OP, children = {@ChildPermission(name ="test.foo")})
@ApiVersion(ApiVersion.Target.v1_13)
public class TestPlugin extends JavaPlugin {

As of version 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT you can now also use the @Commands and @Permission annotations on classes that implement CommandExecutor.

For example:

@Commands(@Command(name = "TestCommand", aliases = "testext2", permission = "test.testext", permissionMessage = "Oopsy!", usage = "/testext test test"))
@Permission(name = "test.testext", desc = "Provides access to /textext command", defaultValue = PermissionDefault.TRUE)
public class TestCommand implements CommandExecutor {

As of version 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT the @ApiVersion annotation was introduced to bring compatibility for Bukkit's new api-version plugin.yml option. This defaults to ApiVersion.Target.DEFAULT if not specified or included. All pre-1.13 plugins MUST use ApiVersion.Target.DEFAULT in order for the plugin to be loaded correctly.
