Posted Nov 10, 2013Found a bug! /plugman reload all just tries to reload all plugins but when it reloads itself it stops continuing reloading other plugins.

Posted Nov 6, 2013Is there anyway to have /plugman unload *, which unloads every single plugin. I have a certain plugin being naughty and it would really help to be able to find it.

Just tested. Works perfectly fine on 1.4.6 so no worries.

Posted Oct 12, 2013Not all plugins will be okay with being reloaded. The author of this plugin shouldn't have to support a plugin that's being naughty or has specific needs. Plugman is for your convenience.

Most of the errors you'll find when reloading are caused by crappy plugins with static instances, and there is nothing the author of PlugMan can do.

I actually realized I needed to wait a bit so that Java would remove the file lock.
