Return ItemMeta not working?

I have been struggling with this for quite some time. Not too sure what i am doing wrong here. If somebody could point it out that would be great, thanks .

Listener class: (Called mech)

Code:

    public ItemMeta addRecipeSpear()
    {
        ArrayList<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
        final ItemStack stick = new ItemStack(Material.STICK, 1);
        ItemMeta im = stick.getItemMeta();
        lore.add(ChatColor.BLUE + " Simple, but deadly.");
        lore.add(ChatColor.RED + " Damage: 15");
            im.setDisplayName("Spear");
            im.setLore(lore);
            stick.setItemMeta(im);
            ShapedRecipe spearr = new ShapedRecipe(stick);
            spearr.shape("F  ", " S ", "  S");
            spearr.setIngredient('S', Material.STICK);
            spearr.setIngredient('F', Material.FLINT);
            plugin.getServer().addRecipe(spearr);
            return im;

Main class:

Code:

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("givespear")) {
            Mech M = new Mech(plugin);
            if(sender instanceof Player) {
                Player p = (Player) sender;
                Player tp = p.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
                if(p.hasPermission("spearmod.give")) {
                    if(args.length == 2) {
                        if(args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("spear")) {
                            ItemMeta im = M.addRecipeSpear();
                            ItemStack is = new ItemStack(Material.STICK, 1);
                            tp.getInventory().addItem(is);
                            is.setItemMeta(im);
                        }
                    }

The correct itemmeta is not being added to the itemstack.

 

add the meta, THEN add the item to the inventory.

 

-_-... thanks. Guess i couldn't figure out how to switch two lines of code on my own.
