Basic Description

What is PluginManager? It's a simple plugin for managing your Bukkit-Plugins.

PluginManager features:

  • Install plugins from BukkitDev ingame
  • Return a list with installed plugins and additional information
  • Show detailed infos about plugins
  • Load/Unload/Reload plugins
  • Search for plugins on BukkitDev
  • Check if a new version of a plugin is avaiable
  • Update to the latest version of a plugin

For this, the plugin accessing the official BukkitDev-Website (http://dev.bukkit.org), fetching the plugin-pages and scanning them.

For Plugin Developers

PluginManager has already one of the best Url-Genrators (for BukkitDev). But for some plugins, this isn't enough.

You want to make sure that your plugin is supported by PluginManager?

  1. First, you need your BukkitDev-Url. So go on your BukkitDev-Plugin-Site and click on the tab "Overview" (If you aren't already there).
  2. Copy the Url of the site (For this plugin, it's http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/pluginmanager).
  3. Insert this key-value-pair (like name: PluginManager) in your plugin.yml: 
    dev-url: <URL>
    Simply replace <URL> with your BukkitDev-Url, so its looking like this (for this plugin):

Commands

If the parameter in this list contains "all", you can write "all" or no paramerer for ALL plugins (like "/pm list all" or "/pm list").
