Help With Dependencies

[Otis Goodman]

I am trying to do some integration with other mods but I ran into a problem.

I don't know how to add integration with a mod without compiling it.

What I am trying to do is check if the integrated mod is installed then run code referencing classes from the mod.

 

Can I get some guidance?

Use it as a library.

You can use a proxy-like system where you have 2 classes that share a common interface that provides the contracts for the methods. If mod A is loaded then you instantinate the AProxy class that references mod's A code. If it isn't then you load NoAProxy that provides noop implementations. You can use reflection to instantinate the proxy, this way it is guaranteed that your proxy class will not load unless mod A is present.

Is there some sort of example for bolth of those?

What exactly are you trying to do? This topic might be helpful.

Is it pausable to check if a mod is installed if true then import x from other mod?

[Otis Goodman]

like inport classes from the mod

I did not completely get what he was saying.

And had trouble understanding what  cadiboo said.

so how do I reference the stuff within the other mods using the ModProxyImpl?

also, It could just be that I don't know enough Java but I can't quite seem to get the classes thing to work.
