OK, for this project I’m using ProjectAB. I am new to Java as a whole, so bare with me. I am creating a plugin for a program that has it’s own chat feature. The plugin is loaded on the server as a jar. My approach is to have AB.jar separate, and communicate between the running bot and the plugin jar. Is that the logical approach, or would it be more so to incorporate the bot into the plugin? The plugin API is rather extensive and controlling the chat is easy. I’m just trying to understand how the bot works in relation to the plugin system.
I guess to simplify the questions:
Should I run the bot separate, or rewrite it to output to the server chat? Would it be better in terms of resources to run them separate or incorporated?
I’ll take help in any form, be it links to guides and documentation, or personal opinions. Anything. Thanks in advance!
