and my main code is:

Code:

[20:56:45 ERROR]: package com.oliversmith7.bukkit;
 
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
 
 
public class FirstPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
 
 
@Override
public void onEnable(){
         getLogger().info("onEnable has started!");
}
 
    @Override
    public void onDisable(){
   getLogger().info("onDisable has started!");
   
    }
    }

Im starting out, this is my first error i've encountered.

 

Tabbin Make sure that there are no Tabs in your yml.

 

Are you sure that you marked the plugin.yml file as "should pack" in eclipse inside the Export window?
Sometimes when you edit a yml included in the plugin eclipse will show a pop up saying "Resource xxx.yml out of sync." and it will not pack that file because it unmarked the checkbox.

I don't think thats the issue because the stacktrace says "Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Jar does not contain plugin.yml"

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

II dont quite understand? this is what i've got.

When i export it i check them all :l?

 

Ah yeah. Totally missed that.

Tabbin Put it in your project folder, NOT your src folder.

 

Thanks man! <3
