On-the-fly Plugin Loading and Unloading (Bounty offered)

Open NullOrNaN opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

I have been really wanting a stable and smart version of plugin loading and unloading on the fly for a while and it's come to the point that I'm actually willing to offer a bounty for this. I'm willing to offer any of the Waterfall devs $50 (and will pay any fees by processor like PayPal's) for this to be addressed.

There's a few conditions to the way I want it done though:

  1. It has to be more sane than the system that Bukkit/Spigot/Paper uses - IE you can't do it to all plugins.
  2. I want a warning to clearly be displayed that some plugins may fully break with this. (And would really like it if you had to confirm before it work load/unload).
  3. This has to be done in the core - I don't want it in a plugin as I really fear that it will be more of a problem that way than not. Bungee Plugin Manager is a great concept.. but is flawed. The problem with it is that it doesn't always allow all plugins to try initialize and they don't throw errors as it doesn't try to load them for some reason.
  4. This needs to be actively maintained and I am willing to "sponsor" this feature on an ongoing basis.

So as I understand it you also want to be able to reload a plugin if its already loaded?

It's not really wanted for reloads. It's more to load new plugins and unload problem ones. I mean having it able to handle a reload would be nice, but not the main wants.

You may want to post this to Bountysource as well, since it has a bounty attached.
