Bat Helpers

Collection of .bat files to quickly perform some frequent development tasks. They allow you to quickly build the project and to move the generated JAR to the plugins folder of your test server.

Setup

  1. Copy the files into a new, convenient directory
  2. Open setvars.bat with a text editor and add the correct directories
  3. Open cmd and navigate to your bathelpers folder (cd C:\path\the\folder)
  4. Type list_files.bat (Hint: Type l and hit Tab) to see the available tasks

Example use case

  1. After writing changes, build_project to build project
  2. move_plugin moves the JAR file to the plugin folder
  3. run_server to start the server with the fresh JAR
  4. Problem detected, stop the server
  5. Make a small change, use quick_build and move_plugin to update
  6. Verify the change again on the server: run_server

All files start with a different letter, so you can conveniently type the first letter and then complete with Tab.
