Kelp Dependency Downloader

(c) 2021 KelpFramework, pxav.

Kelp Dependency Downloader (KDD) is a simple CLI tool for downloading Spigot, Bukkit, and CraftBukkit using the official Spigot BuildTools.jar. When developing version implementations for example, NMS code is used, which may not be distributed by Kelp for legal reasons. So everybody has to compile them by themselves, resulting in tedious work for developers.

KDD is a script you run once, select your desired versions and additional packages (such as documentation) and then wait a few minutes, while

• The latest BuildTools.jar is downloaded from the Spigot repository
• The BuildTools are executed for every selected version with the specified parameters (sources, documentation, ...)
• The .jar files are installed to your local Maven repository.

How to run

Requirements

As the script executes the Spigot BuildTools in the background, you will have to install all dependencies listed there:

• Git available from your command line
• Java available from your command line (version 1.8 recommended)

Downloading

Download the appropriate script for your operating system:

• kdd_windows.bat for windows systems
• kdd_unix.sh for Linux and macOS (coming soon)

Or clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/KelpFramework/kelp-dependency-downloader.git
cd kelp-dependency-downloader

Executing

On Windows:

.\kdd_windows.bat

On unix systems, you might also have to mark the file as executable:

chmod +x kdd_unix.sh
./kdd_unix.sh
