Summary of Changes

Hello @imDMK, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request represents a comprehensive overhaul of the AutoMessage project, focusing on modernizing its architecture, improving performance, and enhancing overall code quality. The changes introduce a modular project structure, a more robust configuration system, a flexible messaging pipeline, and a redesigned scheduled message dispatching mechanism. The goal is to align the project with production-grade standards and enterprise patterns, making it more maintainable and extensible for future development.

Highlights

• Project Structure Overhaul: The project has been refactored into a multi-module Gradle setup using Kotlin DSL, separating core logic (automessage-core) from the Bukkit plugin implementation (automessage-plugin). This enhances modularity and maintainability.
• Modernized Configuration System: The configuration system has been completely rewritten using Okaeri Configs, introducing a robust ConfigManager and ConfigSection abstraction. This includes custom YAML serialization for various data types, ensuring a cleaner and more extensible configuration experience.
• Enhanced Messaging Pipeline: A new MessageService leverages EternalCode Multification and Kyori Adventure for advanced message handling. This includes rich text formatting with MiniMessage, comprehensive placeholder support, and standardized message configurations for commands and dispatcher events.
• Robust Scheduled Message Dispatching: The automatic message dispatching mechanism has been redesigned. It now features ScheduledMessage records with flexible AudienceRules (permission, group-based filtering) and supports various Notice types (chat, title, actionbar, bossbar, sound). Messages can be selected using either random or sequential strategies via the MessageSelector interface.
• Streamlined Command Handling: Command processing has been migrated to LiteCommands, integrating custom handlers for invalid usage, missing permissions, and direct Notice results. New commands (/automessage enable, /automessage disable, /automessage reload) provide granular control over the message dispatcher and configuration.
• Abstracted Scheduling and Logging: New TaskScheduler and PluginLogger abstractions have been introduced, with Bukkit-specific implementations (BukkitTaskScheduler, BukkitPluginLogger). This provides a consistent API for scheduling tasks (using java.time.Duration) and logging, decoupled from the underlying platform specifics.

Code Review

This is an impressive and comprehensive overhaul of the project. The migration to a multi-module structure (core and plugin) with Gradle's Kotlin DSL is a significant step forward for maintainability and scalability. The new architecture clearly separates concerns, with dedicated packages for configuration, scheduling, commands, and platform-specific code. The use of modern Java features like records and sealed interfaces, along with a consistent validation strategy, greatly improves code quality and readability.

My review focuses on a few areas to further enhance correctness and robustness, such as ensuring configuration changes are persisted immediately and improving exception logging. Overall, this is an excellent refactoring that brings the project to a production-grade standard.
