Datapack System Nearing Completion

Written on May 16, 2008 by Mike Gerwitz

The datapack system is (finally) almost complete. I had wanted it to be complete last week so I can get back to work on the backend (working on the same thing over and over is quite tedious and discouraging), however I found myself short on time. This has been a great lesson in planning - the datapack class has been rewritten a few times (large sections, not entirely). I’m almost done converting it to a stream wrapper and making some minor optimizations before I can make a BETA relese. It has been tested extensively, however a final release will not be made until it has been proven bug-free within the MyCustomBB project itself.

The class, developer documentation and example code (used to test every aspect of the system to ensure it is bug free) will be released as soon as it is complete. The class may not yet be found in SVN. It will be placed there once it has reached a stable state (directly before the first release). I hope others will find use for the wrapper outside of MCBB. Its only dependancy is the IOException class developed for the MCBB core.
