Jail 3.0 - JavaDoc - Wiki

This plugins adds Jail to your Minecraft server. Admins can define several jails and then jail/unjail people, can be on a time basis. This plugin also offers wide variety of protections, this way players won't escape out of jail.

Developing/Building

If you want to make some changes, build, and run the unit tests you will notice we require CraftBukkit 1.8 with maven and it isn't hosted anywhere publically for legal reasons. You will need to build CraftBukkit 1.8 yourself and then put it locally for maven with the following command:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=craftbukkit-1.8.jar -DgroupId=org.bukkit -DartifactId=craftbukkit -Dversion=1.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar
