  1. I got it to work but is there a possibility that it don't save it in the config file but that it saves in a file lik home.txt
    hopefully you can help me
     
  2. you can make your own yml file whit the classes inside bukkit
     
  3. How can i do that

    how can i load a other file then config i mean in onEnable i need to load them right?

    to load a seperate file into a FileConfiguration object, you do FileConfiguration yourConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file)//static method
     
  5. and how can i get that file in a executor or listener

    you create it. basically do this

    Code:
    File file = new File(yourPlugin.getDataFolder()+File.seperator+directoryOfYourConfig+File.seperator+configName+".yml");
    File folder = new File(yourPlugin.getDataFolder()+File.seperator+directoryOfYourConfig);
    if(!folder.exists()){
        folder.mkdirs();
    }
    if(!file.exists()){
        file.createNewFile();
    }
    yourCustomConfig.save(file);
    Okay, to explain what this does, you first create two files. one is your file location (variable "file") and another is the files directory. (im sure theres a better way to do this other than two file objects, but just bear with me, i havnt looked into it yet) first, you check if the directory exists (first if statement) if not, create the directories (mkdirs()) then, check if the file exists, if not, create it (createNewFile()) then you save the config TO that file (yourCustomConfig.save(file))

    easy :3
     
  7. and to get it in a listener
    it's just make a variable?
    And it doen't work i get an error in eclipse

    its because thats not code, its psuedocode.

    you use this in your listener, as a function. you dont pass it into your listener as a variable.
