Compile

To compile, use gradlew build.

You can also use gradlew distribution, which will create the plugin .jar and all modules in a drag-and-droppable layout into build/dist. You can also use gradlew zipDistribution to get the whole project .zip file.

For running Basics locally, you can also use the testserver tasks:

• copyPluginToTestServer: Copies the main plugin .jar to your test server
• copyModule<Name>ToTestServer: Copies the specific module .jar to your test server
• copyAllModulesToTestServer: Copies all modules to the test server - same as running all copyModule<Name>ToTestServer tasks
• copyAllToTestServer: Copies all modules and the main plugin .jar to your test server - same as running copyPluginToTestServer and copyAllModulesToTestServer

The path to your test server can be specified using a gradle property called "testserver.path" using one of the following methods:

• as command line argument (gradlew copyAllToTestServer -Ptestserver.path=/my/test/server)
• in the gradle.properties file in your gradle home directory (usually ~/.gradle): testserver.path=/my/test/server

Todo

Documentation

The documentation can be found here:

• Dokka HTML
• Javadoc HTML

It is not often updated, so better create your own using gradlew dokkaHtml or gradlew dokkaJavadoc in the core project.

Note to Contributors

Contributions are always welcome from anyone!

Create a new module

Modules can be written in Java or Kotlin. To create a new module, use the createModule task. It will ask you which language (kotlin or java) you want to use, asks you for the module name, which should be [a-z0-9_-]+.

Debug information

Debug output can be enabled by setting the BASICS_DEBUG_LEVEL environment variable to 1 or higher, for example:

BASICS_DEBUG_LEVEL=99 java -jar spigot.jar 

You can also change the debug level on the fly using /basicsdebug setdebugloglevel <number>.
