This is a maven-archetype to quickstart spigot plugin development

How to use

Open your terminal or command prompt
Switch to the directory you want the plugin to live in
Create the project using the archetype:

mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeRepository=http://nexus.tkausl.net/content/groups/public/ \
-DarchetypeGroupId=net.tkausl.archetypes \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=spigot-plugin-simple \
-DarchetypeVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT

Next steps

After creating the project, you should be able to compile the simple dummy-plugin, just switch in the plugins directory and type mvn install, your .jar will be in target/. To test the plugin, just copy the .jar-file in your servers plugins-folder and restart or reload the server. A dummy command is already implemented, just type / (its your artifactId) and you'll get a simple message, showing you the pluginname and the version.
