Residence, Essential and other plugin problems

Whenever I put in some plugins for my server, it comes up with this error:

12:05:23 [INFO] [Residence] - FAILED INITIALIZATION! DISABLED! ERROR:

It makes it so Residence doesn't work. Can anyone help me?

I have a MacBook Pro
4gb of Ram
Mac OS X= Version 10.6.8
I'm on the latest CraftBukkit.jar and I use the latest updates on plugins and this error pops up. Please help. Thanks

 

Rename Essentials to AAAEssentials. Bukkit loads it's plug-ins alphabetically and for some reason E isn't far enough in front of R.

 

Ok thanks. Do I also do this to my folder too? Or just the .Jar file?

 

Well it used to work just renaming the jar file like that. However that doesn't seem to work any more. If you don't use it, disabling Residences' economy system will also fix it too.

 

hey thefailmonster can you help me with my essentials plugin?? i download it and i put it in my plugins file.. with the .jar .protect .spawn and .chat files inside the AAAessentials folder although i restart my server and enter it but still no plugin.. it comes up in my server files but never works on my file and i've tried so hard to get it too work but nothing seems to work.. I'm using a mac computer to do this.. :/
