Consider compiling the plugin with a lower version of java #9

the newer java versions are more efficient and it seems I can run every version of spigot back to 1.8 using the latest java version.

Is there a particular reason to use older java versions?

iMrDJAi commented 2 years ago

@DailyStruggle Paper 1.13.2 refused to work with the most recent version of java. Am I missing something?

iMrDJAi commented 2 years ago

I'm getting Unsupported Java detected (61.0). Only up to Java 12 is supported. when running spigot 1.13.2 on java 17.

the first problem is that several softdepends are using newer java versions and the plugin won't compile without removing a bunch of plugin checks.

the second problem is that I used several methods introduced in newer java versions and it's tedious to revert.

DailyStruggle commented 2 years ago

I realize now ... I compiled my server without the version check

iMrDJAi commented 2 years ago

@DailyStruggle You mean this check? https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/#dev

Not sure how to remove it from Paper as there are no official buildtools for it.

DailyStruggle commented 2 years ago

don't edit server source code for a plugin setup process. It's safer to recompile the plugin.

DailyStruggle commented 2 years ago

I'm not doing this on v1 because I can't as easily decouple the softdependencies from the plugin

iMrDJAi commented 2 years ago

@DailyStruggle Alright! No problem. Just focus on v2, I'm really excited about it!

DailyStruggle commented 1 year ago

working compilation in java 8 on the V2 branch, supporting a better form of reflection for location checks so that softdependencies can be external to the main plugin.
