Utils Updater

Updater

SimplixCore offers a way for automatic update checks and automatic update installation. This works for every SimplixAppliaction so like SimplixLibraries and Plugins. This will not work for standalone applications.

The update policy

If you want to benefit from SimplixCore's version checking, you need to place a updatepolicy.json file into your resources folder. The file looks like that:

{  
  "versionPattern": "regex-here" // optional, only needed when using non standard versioning scheme  
  "versionFetcherClass": "dev.simplix.core.common.updater.SpigotMcResourceVersionFetcher",  
  "versionFetcher": {  
    "resourceId": "63778"  
  },  
  "updateDownloaderClass": "dev.simplix.core.common.updater.UrlUpdateDownloader", // optional, only needed when you want to automatically install the updates  
  "updateDownloader": { // optional, only needed when you want to automatically install the updates  
    "url": "https://my-file-host.com/myplugin/latest.jar"  
  }  
}
