Error is player.hasPermission [Unsolved]

I am having a error (I am new at coding) and want to know if you guys know what is causing it.

if(player.hasPermission("grassdrop.nomotd")) {

Code:

public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent join)
        {
            if(player.hasPermission("grassdrop.nomotd")) {
            // No Message
            }else{
                ChatColor Color1 = ChatColor.RED;
                ChatColor Color2 = ChatColor.DARK_GREEN;
                Player p = join.getPlayer();
                p.sendMessage(Color2 + "[" + Color1 + "GrassDrop" + Color1 + "]" + Color2 + "Enabled, By TechHut.us");
             }
        }

 

well you don't create a player variable anywhere in the listener before attempting to player.hasPermission - you create Player p in the else statement... so What exactly is player?

 

Its making it so that when a Player joins it displays [GrassDrop] Enabled, By TechHut.us but if the permission node grassdrop.nomotd is used then the message is disabled. I don't really understand what exactly do I need to do to fix this?

I figured it out... I added Player player = join.getPlayer(); Before the line if(player.hasPermission("grassdrop.nomotd")) {
