Make Developer CraftBukkit

Howto Make Developer CraftBukkit

first, why? Isn't there a recommended build you can download? Ok, probably not, so what we need to do is

• install git (zypper install git)
• install maven 3 (don't know, get it from apache site)
• clone craftbukkit repo (described below)
• build (described below)

So, if you have git and maven, but you don't have a clone of the craftbukkit repository yet, then

cd /wherever/you/want/to/build/
mkdir craftbukkit
cd craftbukkit
git clone git://github.com/Bukkit/CraftBukkit.git

If you did that before, it is enough to update your git repository

cd /wherever/you/cloned/your/craftbukkit
git pull

Now you can build it

mvn clean package

Should end with lines like this

[INFO] Replacing /home/joachim/workspace/craftbukkit/target/craftbukkit-1.5-R0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar with /home/joachim/workspace/craftbukkit/target/craftbukkit-1.5-R0.1-SNAPSHOT-shaded.jar
