Eclipse error

[lofty wadi]

where is the JavaPlugin in Eclipse?

[spiral talon]

did you add bukkit to the classpath

Or are you even using maven or gradle

[lofty wadi]

I have already watched a lot of tutorials about creating a plugin on Spigot, but when you get to the stage of creating the first class, a problem arises, there is no org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin in the project

This is one of those videos I tried to make, it didn't work out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaU8JKQW0Ao

there were many others, but they all have about the same actions

[spiral talon]

so chances are you don't use maven or gradle and haven't put bukkit on the classpath

[lofty wadi]

I can send in private messages a screenshot of what I have in Eclipse now

[spiral talon]

I recommend to follow this guide https://bukkit.fandom.com/wiki/Plugin_Tutorial_(Eclipse)#Starting_a_Plugin_Project

It's ancient but it still works and is how i got started

[lofty wadi]

okay, I'll try to do it

[lofty wadi]

i am use a JavaProject

[spiral talon]

You'd want a maven project for reason that seem arbitrary for you right now - but trust me: it matters.

Otherwise you would need to add https://hub.spigotmc.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/org/spigotmc/spigot-api/1.19.3-R0.1-SNAPSHOT/spigot-api-1.19.3-R0.1-20230128.004812-32-shaded.jar on the build classpath

It's not difficult (if not easier), but remembering that link can be a bit troublesome if you decide to create a new project or switch to a new computer

[lofty wadi]

As soon as I inserted it into the Referenced Libraries, everything immediately worked. Why does no one mention this library in the tutorials

[spiral talon]

I know your feeling

Hence I said it is difficult to remember that link

[lofty wadi]

Oh my God, I spent half a day because no one actually attached this set of characters called link and did not say that this is the most important thing. Oh my....

[lofty wadi]

I'll try right now for interest by the method that you suggested
