[Suggestion] Plugin UI
nprail opened this issue ยท 6 comments
A great feature would be a page for updating or installing plugins probably using Bukkit Dev.
I'll consider this, but it won't be in the upcoming update.
For now, plugins can already be installed / removed via uploading / deleting their jars in the plugins folder, then reloading the server
I might attempt doing it myself but I don't know Java very well so it may not work out.
@rymate1234 I am currently working on building a Minecraft plugin registry that integrates with both BukkitDev and SpigotMC Resources. It will have an API that will make it super easy to install plugins from all three sources. After I finish that, I will probably add this feature to JPanel.
Here is the code to the registry I'm working on:
That actually sounds like a good idea, having two plugin repositories has caused unnecessary fragmentation as some plugins are either:
- Qnly available on one site
- Have to maintain a presence on both sites
And this basically doubles the work to do support / perform updates, so having a site that aggregates them into one list sounds extremely handy, and I would definitely support a PR that adds it to JPanel.
@rymate1234 FYI, I am nearing completion of the first version plugin registry! You can find the API documentation here. Currently, it gets plugins from BukkitDev and its own internal registry.
