Code generation tools

In this repository you'll find code generation tools related to zLib and Bukkit plugins development.

Plugins bootstrap generator

This script will generate a basic Bukkit plugin in the given directory. Useful if you are too lazy to create the first classes and configuration files by hand.
All the script is in a single file without any extra dependency. Python 3 is required.

Usage:

python3 plugin_bootstrap.py

or, if you don't want to download the script (but check it before!):

python3 <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zDevelopers/zLib-CodeGen-Utils/master/plugin_bootstrap.py)

A few questions will be asked, then the plugin will be generated in the specified directory, ready to be compiled (and modified, of course).

These features are supported.

• Creation of the pom.xml file with dependencies.
• Creation of the plugin.yml file, with various options.
• Creation of the main class, with static accessor to retrieve the plugin's instance everywhere.
• Creation of listeners, pre-registered in the main class.
• Creation of commands, registered in the plugin.yml file and in the main class, with the commands classes pre-generated.
• Support of zLib: if enabled (you'll be asked), you'll have the dependency added in the pom.xml, and the code generated in the zLib way.
• Creation of a .gitignore file.

These features are not supported.

• Permissions generation in the plugin.yml file.
• zLib configuration classes generation (see below for that).

zLib configuration class generator

This script generates a zLib Config class from a config.yml file. All the script is in a single file. Python 3 and PyYAML are required.

Usage:

python3 gen_zlib_config.py path/to/config.yml > Config.java
