MalformedURLException from null config list

For some reason I am getting a null value from my config even though there is no way it should be, I must be missing something sitting infront of my face but I can't see it

Here is my mainclass:

Code:java

 
public class iSkin extends JavaPlugin {
 
    public static Map<String, String> playerSkin = new HashMap<String, String>();
    public static List<String> skinList = new ArrayList<String>();
    private FileManager fm;
    public static int skinI = 0;
    public static String currentSkin;
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        if(!getServer().getPluginManager().isPluginEnabled("Spout")) {
            System.out.println("[iSkin] Spout not enabed, disabling plugin...");
            getServer().getPluginManager().disablePlugin(this);
        }
        else {
            setupConfiguration();
            loadHashMap();
            skinList.clear();
            skinList = this.getConfig().getStringList("Allowed-Skins");
            fm = SpoutManager.getFileManager();
            getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new iSkinListener(this), this);
            getCommand("iSkin").setExecutor(new iSkinCommandExecutor(this));
            for (String s : skinList) {
                if (checkURL(s)) {
                    fm.addToPreLoginCache(this, s);
                } else {
                    System.out.println("Invalid URL: " + s);
                }
            }
            fm.addToPreLoginCache(this, "[url]http://www.minecraft.net/images/char.png[/url]");
            new SetPlayerScreen(this);
            new SetSelfScreen(this);
        }        
    }
 
    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        iSkinLoader.save(playerSkin, new File(this.getDataFolder(), "PlayerSkins.txt"));
    }
 
    private void setupConfiguration() {
        File file = new File(this.getDataFolder(), "config.yml");
        if (!file.exists()) {
            skinList.add("[url]http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftSkins/Notch.png[/url]");
            skinList.add("[url]http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftSkins/thehutch.png[/url]");            
            this.getConfig().options().header("[url]http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftSkins/<minecraft[/url] name here>.png \n"
                                               + "use this template URL to obtain skins from existing minecraft players \n"
                                               + "otherwise use another URL with valid skins");            
            this.getConfig().addDefault("Default-Skin", "[url]http://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftSkins/Notch.png[/url]");
            this.getConfig().addDefault("Allowed-Skins", skinList);
            this.getConfig().addDefault("Skins.testplayer", new ArrayList<String>());
            this.getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
            this.saveConfig();
            this.reloadConfig();
        }
    }
 
    private void loadHashMap() {
        File file = new File(this.getDataFolder(), "PlayerSkins.txt");
        if (!file.exists()) {
            try {
                file.createNewFile();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
        else {
            iSkinLoader.load(file);
        }
    }
 
    public static boolean checkURL(String s) {
        try {
            URL a = new URL(s);
            HttpURLConnection b = (HttpURLConnection) a.openConnection();
            if (b.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
                return true;
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Error: URL = " + s);
        }
        return false;
    }
}
 

 

...why are you wrapping your URL's in tags?

 

Oh sorry that is just bukkit seeing a url that's not me
