Hi, could you update this for JDA 4.2.0?

I have a problem where the net.dv8tion.jda.core.JDABuilder cannot be resolved. then when I switch "core" to "api" the problem is resolved but i get a warning where it says that the JDABuilder constructor is deprecated. any fixes?

Hey bro! Just managed to find a way around this, these are the 4 lines of code within my main function:

JDA jda = JDABuilder.createDefault(YOUR_TOKEN).build();
jda.getPresence().setStatus(OnlineStatus.ONLINE);
jda.getPresence().setActivity(Activity.listening("commands"));
jda.addEventListener(new Commands());

This should work as I've followed the video and only changed these few lines to ensure it works with 4.2.0; let me know if it works for you 👍

Hey! thanks so much for the help, nothing is deprecated, BUT when I try to run the code to get the bot to come online i get a NoClassDefFoundError, what could this be caused by?

(snopchops is my bot name)heres the console:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: okhttp3/RequestBody
at net.dv8tion.jda.api.JDABuilder.build(JDABuilder.java:1831)

Ok I solved the problem by importing the -withDependencies.jar rather than the normal one.

when you add JDA as a dependancy make sure you add the one with inbuild dependancies, https://github.com/DV8FromTheWorld/JDA/releases/download/v4.2.0/JDA-4.2.0_168-withDependencies.jar
