is there a way when you have this many plugins

AdminShop-1.3d.jar
CreeperMend-0.2.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
Dynmap-2.1-forge-1.8.9.jar
EnjinMinecraftForgePlugin-1.8.9.jar
EssentialCmds-7.2g.jar
“FoxCore-v0.6.2-70-SNAPSHOT (1).jar”
FoxGuard-v0.16.1-206-SNAPSHOT.jar
Inspector-0.2.jar
Keys-1.0.0.jar
Kits-1.4b.jar
PermissionsEx-Sponge.jar
spongeforge-1.8.9-1722-3.1.0-BETA-1123.jar
TotalEconomy-v1.3.2.jar
worldedit-spongevanilla-mc1.8.9-6.1.1-SNAPSHOT-dist.jar

for it to automatically tell the owner when a specific plugin has an update and a link to where that specific plugin can be located?

Thank you for your time in reading this and I look forward to a responce

I believe that the individual plugins would need to implement something to handle that.

I imagine in the future when Ore becomes stable, a plugin could scan all existing plugins, find the relevant Ore page, and check for updated versions.

Until a central repository like Ore exists, however, it would be utterly painful to implement any plugin-wide version checking (like relying on the forums).

Continuing off of what @ZephireNZ said, I recall that somewhere the dev team of Sponge itself hinted at the future release of a plugin for plugin management (updating, downloading, etc.) from ore.

ok cool but for now just manually browse lol

That would be freaking cool :smiley:

Well I wouldn’t suggest scanning them all. Instead just give the plugin a namespace/id within that Ore instance and check specifically for it. Otherwise what if we have hundreds of thousands of plugins/libs?

@varrix
Ore is intended to be functionally equivalent to a Maven repositories for every plugin (at least on the back end). So yeah… they will have a namespace/id.
