DMDirc plugins

This repository contains plugins for DMDirc, a Java IRC client.

Development information

Gradle configurations

We have two custom configurations for use when defining plugin dependencies:

The bundle configuration allows dependencies to be bundled together into the plugin’s jar file. This should be used for dependencies required at runtime that are not included in the main DMDirc client, or accessed via other plugins. Most of a plugin’s dependencies should end up in the bundle configuration.

The provided configuration works like the Maven ‘provided’ scope. It defines dependencies required to compile and run the plugin that will be provided to it somehow externally. Anything in the provided configuration (including transitive dependencies) will not be bundled into the plugin jar. The provided configuration is used for the main DMDirc client, and should be used for any intra-plugin dependencies.
