(If you have to change it here, you may need to do the same thing for each new
plugin's build script as we go along).
Once it compiles and installs, you are excellent! Now you have a compiled
plugin, ready for the Minecraft server to use.
If your server is still running, it won't know about this new plugin. You have
to stop it and then restart it.

And there's the startup message from our new
HelloWorld
plugin. If you don't
see any message from
HelloWorld
starting up, then your Minecraft server can't
find it. Make sure the
HelloWorld.jar
file is in the server's
plugins
directory, stop
the server, and try starting it up again.
Once you're connected and in the Minecraft world, you can test out your fine
new command from the client chat window. In the Minecraft game, just start
typing
/hello
and see what happens. As soon as you type the “/” character,
you'll see that you're typing in a chat window at the bottom of the screen.
Press
Return
and…
