Notice Event API Change

We have changed the Connect Event API to better accommodate for continued growth of LilyPad's API.

Previously, you would do this:

Code (text):

import lilypad.client.connect.api.Connect;
public class Plugin {
    private Listener listener = new Listener();
    public void onEnable() {
        Connect connect = ...
        connect.registerMessageEventListener(listener);
    }
    public void onDisable() {
        Connect connect = ...
        connect.unregisterMessageEventListener(listener);
    }
}
import lilypad.client.connect.api.MessageEvent;
import lilypad.client.connect.api.MessageEventListener;
public class Listener implements MessageEventListener {
    public void onMessage(Connect connect, MessageEvent event) {
    }
}
 

Now, you will be doing this:

Code (text):

import lilypad.client.connect.api.Connect;
public class Plugin {
    private Listener listener = new Listener();
    public void onEnable() {
        Connect connect = ...
        connect.registerEvents(listener);
    }
    public void onDisable() {
        Connect connect = ...
        connect.unregisterEvents(listener);
    }
}
import lilypad.client.connect.api.event.EventListener;
import lilypad.client.connect.api.event.MessageEvent;
public class Listener {
    @EventListener
    public void onMessage(MessageEvent event) {
    }
}
 

As you can likely tell, this is a lot easier to work with than the previous system, is alike that of Bukkit's system, and will allow for the easy addition of events onto LilyPad's API.

We recommend you update your plugins to suit this as soon as possible, as although the old API currently works, we will be removing it in a month or so.

Thank you.

Very good to note.
