IMPORTANT - (6th May 2014):
If you wish to share your code with the jMonkey community, you can do so easily by submitting your project to us! Once your submission has been approved, your plugin will be listed on the submissions page and will be added to the plugin list within the next 24 hours (plugins are compiled once a day on our build server). Your submission may be refused if it is of bad taste, is empty, or is unrelated to jMonkey.
-
Create a
jmeplugin.propertiesfile in your project. The contents of this file is outlined below and must be present. -
Upload your project to GitHub (See GitHub’s Hello World guide if you need a quick introduction)
-
Submit your project to us at http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/plugins/submit.php.
Configuring The Plugin Properties File
The plugin properties file jmeplugin.properties can be located anywhere in your project, and contains the descriptive data that will be displayed in the plugin list. You can modify the contents and location of this file at any point in the future should you wish to do so. The changes will be reflected the next time the plugin is compiled. Below is an example of the contents of the jmeplugin.properties file. The DisplayName and Category fields cannot be blank.
DisplayName: TerrainPager
Category: jme-plugin
ShortDescription: A TerrainQuad based world generator and pager.
LongDescription: A really awesome TerrainQuad based world generator.Version Control
When you submit your github repository to us you also have the opportunity to choose a branch. This allows you to have multiple versions of your code, which can be of great use. You can for example have “experimental, nightly, testing and “stable branches. You can then submit one of these branches to us. Our server will then only pull changes from the given branch. This allows you to modify and push your code to git, and only push changes to the branch you submitted when you want that code to go live.
