Method Detail

registerAll

void registerAll(String fallbackPrefix,
                 List<Command> commands)

Registers all the commands belonging to a certain plugin.

Caller can use:-

• command.getName() to determine the label registered for this command
• command.getAliases() to determine the aliases which where registered

Parameters:

fallbackPrefix - a prefix which is prepended to each command with a ':' one or more times to make the command unique

commands - a list of commands to register

register

boolean register(String label,
                 String fallbackPrefix,
                 Command command)

Registers a command. Returns true on success; false if name is already taken and fallback had to be used.

Caller can use:-

• command.getName() to determine the label registered for this command
• command.getAliases() to determine the aliases which where registered

Parameters:

label - the label of the command, without the '/'-prefix.

fallbackPrefix - a prefix which is prepended to the command with a ':' one or more times to make the command unique

command - the command to register

Returns:

true if command was registered with the passed in label, false otherwise, which indicates the fallbackPrefix was used one or more times

register

boolean register(String fallbackPrefix,
                 Command command)

Registers a command. Returns true on success; false if name is already taken and fallback had to be used.

Caller can use:-

• command.getName() to determine the label registered for this command
• command.getAliases() to determine the aliases which where registered

Parameters:

fallbackPrefix - a prefix which is prepended to the command with a ':' one or more times to make the command unique

command - the command to register, from which label is determined from the command name

Returns:

true if command was registered with the passed in label, false otherwise, which indicates the fallbackPrefix was used one or more times

dispatch

boolean dispatch(CommandSender sender,
                 String cmdLine)
                 throws CommandException
