Using custom ymls

Hello people of Bukkit!!

I am rather new to coding plugins, and I have a problem that I cannot figure out on my own. I am making a plugin that when someone issues a command, it will create a new yml file named after argument one, in the folder named users. The problem that I am having, is that I want to base this file off of a default one that I have already made. I create the new file by coding in:

Code:java

Player target = Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]); 
File customConfigFile = new File(this.getDataFolder() + "/users/", target.getPlayer().getName() + ".yml");

When this file is made, I want it to be based off of a file named example.yml that I will put in the jar. I then want to be able to use the loadConfiguration method without using the variable customConfigFile, as I want to able to use the information outside of where I defined the variable target.

Any suggestions/help?

looks like you're trying to append a String to a File object! that won't work

Try this:

Code:

File customConfigFile = new File(this.getDataFolder(), "users/" + target.getPlayer().getName() + ".yml");

Use the examples input stream to define the defaults for the new file:
