JDA-Chewtils is a modern and updated fork of JDA-Utilities which is a series of tools and utilities for use with JDA to assist in bot creation.

If you're needing help or want to help, feel free to hop onto the #jda-chewtils channel on my server.

Please do NOT use the official JDA server for help with this fork.

Since JDA-Utilities 2.x, the library has been split into multiple modular projects, in order to better organize its contents based on what developers might want to use and not use.

• Command Package
• Commons Package
• CommandDoc Package
• Examples Package

You will need to add this project as a dependency (via Maven or Gradle), as well as JDA.

Keep in mind the 1.x version of JDA-Chewtils is only compatible with JDA 4, for compatibility with JDA 5, you need 2.x. See the wiki for more information.

With Maven:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>pw.chew</groupId>
    <artifactId>jda-chewtils</artifactId>
    <version>JDA-CHEWTILS-VERSION</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
    <type>pom</type>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>net.dv8tion</groupId>
    <artifactId>JDA</artifactId>
    <version>JDA-VERSION</version>

With Gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation 'pw.chew:jda-chewtils:JDA-UTILITIES-VERSION'
    implementation 'net.dv8tion:JDA:JDA-VERSION'
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral() // for transitive dependencies
    // for JDA 4
    maven {
      name 'm2-dv8tion'
      url 'https://m2.dv8tion.net/releases'
    }
    // For JDA-Chewtils
    maven { url "https://m2.chew.pro/releases" }
}

Gradle (Kotlin):

dependencies {
    implementation("pw.chew:jda-chewtils:JDA-UTILITIES-VERSION")
    implementation("net.dv8tion:JDA:JDA-VERSION")
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral() // for transitive dependencies
    // for JDA 4
    maven {
      name = "m2-dv8tion"
      url = uri("https://m2.dv8tion.net/releases")
    }
    // For JDA-Chewtils
    maven { url = uri("https://m2.chew.pro/releases") }
}

Individual modules can be downloaded using the same structure shown above, with the addition of the module's name as a suffix to the dependency:

With Maven:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>pw.chew</groupId>
    <!-- Notice that the dependency notation ends with "-command" -->
    <artifactId>jda-chewtils-command</artifactId>
    <version>JDA-CHEWTILS-VERSION</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
  </dependency>

With Gradle:

dependencies {
    // Notice that the dependency notation ends with "-command"
    implementaton 'pw.chew:jda-chewtils-command:JDA-CHEWTILS-VERSION'
}
