For developers

What's inside an extension

An extension is just a folder (or a .zip of it). The IDE reads the header of its code file to show name, description and version.

  • jvl/codice.jvl — required: without it the IDE won't recognize the extension.
  • resources/ico.png — optional icon shown in the IDE.
  • In the IDE, Extensions → Load plugin accepts both the folder and the .zip.
my-extension/jvl/codice.jvlJVL
// @name: My Extension
// @description: What my extension does.
// @version: 1.0

public class Plugin {
    public static void onEnable() {
        System.out.println("My Extension enabled!");
    }
}
