Example Plugins (x-post from r/spongeproject)

Not in a huge amount of detail, but essentially yes.

Looking to cover things such as how to define a plugin in Bukkit vs how to define a plugin in Sponge, similarities between the two, and key differences that you might find a bit challenging at the start if you’re used to Bukkit and wanted to mess around with Sponge.

For example, the use of the @Plugin annotation, versus the use of “extends JavaPlugin”, such as is covered in the sticky by @Tux2 [OUTDATED] Coming from Bukkit? Here's Some Tips and Tricks to Get you Started

Admittedly there’s not a great deal you can do at the minute besides “hello world” - but that’s where the creativity of the community comes in. If comparing “hello world” plugins is all I can do at that moment in time, it still gives me a very interesting topic to cover, but if I can say “X community member already made this plugin, here’s how it looks in Bukkit and here’s how it looks in Sponge” then I’ve got even more awesome stuff to show at the panel!

Obviously, I’d stress the immaturity of the API - I don’t see that as a factor to prevent the panel being of interest.
