stageOne

Stage one of starting ServerPackCreator.

Creates and prepares the environment for ServerPackCreator to run by creating required directories and copying required files from the JAR-file to the filesystem. Some of these files can and should be edited by a given user, others however, not.

• Checks the read- and write-permissions of ServerPackCreators base-directory.

• Copies the README.md from the JAR to the home-directory.

• Copies the HELP.md from the JAR to the home-directory.

• Copies the CHANGELOG.md from the JAR to the home-directory.

• Copies the LICENSE from the JAR to the home-directory.

• Copies the fallback version-manifests to the manifests.

• Creates default directories:

• server_files

• work

• temp

• work/modpacks

• server-packs (depending on the users settings, this may be anywhere on the users system)

• plugins

• plugins/config

• Example disabled.txt-file in plugins/disabled.txt.

• Creates the default server.properties if it doesn't exist.

• Creates the default server-icon.png if it doesn't exist.

• Creates the default PowerShell and Shell script templates or overwrites them if they already exist.

• Determines whether this instance of ServerPackCreator was updated from a previous version.

If an update was detected, and migrations are available for any of the steps of the update, they are executed, thus ensuring users are safe to update their instances. Writes ServerPackCreator and system information to the console and logs, important for error reporting and debugging.
