Method Detail

getDataFolder

File getDataFolder()

Returns the folder that the plugin data's files are located in. The folder may not yet exist.

Returns:

getConfig

FileConfiguration getConfig()

Gets a FileConfiguration for this plugin, read through "config.yml"

If there is a default config.yml embedded in this plugin, it will be provided as a default for this Configuration.

Returns:

Plugin configuration

getResource

InputStream getResource(String filename)

Gets an embedded resource in this plugin

Parameters:

Returns:

File if found, otherwise null

saveConfig

void saveConfig()

Saves the FileConfiguration retrievable by getConfig().

saveDefaultConfig

void saveDefaultConfig()

Saves the raw contents of the default config.yml file to the location retrievable by getConfig(). If there is no default config.yml embedded in the plugin, an empty config.yml file is saved. This should fail silently if the config.yml already exists.

saveResource

void saveResource(String resourcePath,
                  boolean replace)

Saves the raw contents of any resource embedded with a plugin's .jar file assuming it can be found using getResource(String).

The resource is saved into the plugin's data folder using the same hierarchy as the .jar file (subdirectories are preserved).

Parameters:

resourcePath - the embedded resource path to look for within the plugin's .jar file. (No preceding slash).

replace - if true, the embedded resource will overwrite the contents of an existing file.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the resource path is null, empty, or points to a nonexistent resource.

reloadConfig

void reloadConfig()

Discards any data in getConfig() and reloads from disk.

getServer

Server getServer()

Returns the Server instance currently running this plugin

Returns:

Server running this plugin

isEnabled

boolean isEnabled()

Returns a value indicating whether or not this plugin is currently enabled
