Expected it to work :P

Have you specified your api jar as a dependency in the plugin pom? — Dmitry Khamitov, Mar 23 '19 at 07:25
No, how do I do this? I made my own API... I use IntelliJ for coding my plugins. Also, when I add my jar to the libraries, it sets it as Compile, is that needed to change? — Block Gaming, Mar 23 '19 at 13:57
Maybe https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4955635/how-to-add-local-jar-files-to-a-maven-project will help you. Your plugin has pom.xml into which you should add a dependency on your api jar — Dmitry Khamitov, Mar 23 '19 at 16:53
If you're using maven for you API as well you should be able to run "mvn install". This will install the compiled API jar inside your local maven repository. If you add the tag for your API inside your pom.xml of the main project maven should be able to resolve the dependency to your API and everything should compile just fine. — Drayke, Mar 27 '19 at 09:16
