Coding Plugins?

[LX_Gaming]

So using eclipse and Youtube i started to get my head around Minecraft plugins, I managed to create and export a plugin but need some help on how to test it, I created my own server on my laptop using a file from Minecraft.net (Screenshot of the plugin code at bottom of page )

The Problem...Bukkit, as far as i know is down due to a DMCA takedown request (from what i know a developer left the team then he didn't want bukkit to use his code).

The Question...Whats the best way to test plugins on a locally or Online made server? (i would prefer a local server(On my laptop) as i'm not paying for a server and the free online ones always crash.

Any Help Is Greatly Appreciated

Thank You

Hi lX i can give you a simple bukkit server base if you would like? or you could upload the plugin and ill download it, install it to my server and get you on to test it?

A simple Bukkit server would be awesome as long as its not crash-prone and i would be able to just add random updated plugins. Uploading and you downloading would not really work as i would always uploading to test different things and would have to shut down and start the server.

spigot is a great alternative to bukkit

Uploading a simple server now, its fairly simple to use, just need to open the port for it

Thank you so much guys. it might be a simple plugin, but i now have a local server and have a basic idea to create a plugin. the problem was i needed to export BOTH plugin.yml and pom.xml, i also has the issue of the main class not being found, turns out lettercase is key in java coding XD

^This confirmed that the class was found and the plugin had been launched with no problem

^This is in-game of the plugin working, which all it does is gets the player name of who did /hello and includes it in the output.
