Posted Apr 26, 2017Just a heads up for those who updated to version 2.1.2:
The version that was uploaded seemed to be corrupted. I have pulled version 2.1.2 and uploaded a re-build (version 2.1.3) in its place - this build looks to work fine and will be available for download once the file has been approved.
EDIT: You will need to download the build manually to fix the issue.

No errors here using the latest version (2.1.3) I downloaded from dev.bukkit.org (rather than using the version the updater gave) - https://hastebin.com/ogadupewur.md
Others have confirmed it working as well on the Spigot forums.

Also, if that "doesn't work", ensure you're following normal procedure of:
1. Completely stop your minecraft server
2. Delete the old jar file (Plugman.jar) from your plugins folder
3. Upload or drop the new Plugman.jar file into the plugins folder
4. Start server.
Additionally, if you use something like filezilla to make file changes on your server, ensure the upload hasn't failed as that in itself isn't always noticeable straight away.

Posted Jan 19, 2017Seems the list on Spigot is drumming up new business here for you. Any luck on the updates we discussed via email?
Thanks,

Posted Jan 19, 2017Suggestion:
i know Plugin just should reload Plugins.
but maybe u can add a argument to reload commands.yml and help.yml of the spigot mainfolder
something like /plugman reload help.yml and /plugman reload commands.yml
if these files are used its annoining to reload the server just for that :3

Posted Aug 23, 2016Hi Rylinaux,
Any chance PlugMan might be able to restrict the worlds for which a plugin is active?
This is really a feature that should be native to CraftBukkit/Spigot, but currently the only way to do it (short of using BungeeCord, I hear) is with PerWorldPlugins, which appears to have been abandoned...
Best regards.

Posted Jul 17, 2016Hello,
Today I downloaded your plugin and it seems to be all fine and good until I reloaded a plugin with your plugin and all the config in the plugin I reloaded was clear. Please fix this ASAP

Posted Jul 11, 2016So with this plugin, if I find a new plugin or plugin update, I just drag and drop, then do the plugin reload command to install/update the plugin? Wouldn't that cause memory issues, plugin bugs, ect.?

Is anything broken with 1.10? The APIs that PlugMan uses are very stable and don't often break on updates.
Looks fine to me from a quick test.
