API HowTo.txt

// Add CommandPoints.jar as an external archive then import the API class using:
import pgDev.bukkit.CommandPoints.*;

// Declare the CommandPoints variable:
CommandPointsAPI cpAPI;


// Recommended Method

// Run this function from onEnable.
private void setupCommandPoints() {
    Plugin commandPoints = this.getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("CommandPoints");
    
    if (commandPoints != null) {
        cpAPI = ((CommandPoints)commandPoints).getAPI();
    }
}


// Alternate Method

// Here is the function you should add to your plugin's main class.
// It outputs the CommandPointsAPI class so don't forget to assign this to a variable.
private CommandPointsAPI getCommandPointsAPI() {
    Plugin commandPoints = this.getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("CommandPoints");
    
    if (commandPoints != null) {
        return ((CommandPoints)commandPoints).getAPI();
    } else {
    	return null;
    }
}

// In your onEnable function add this.
cpAPI = getCommandPointsAPI();
