[severe] ebean.properties not found [SOLVED]

I noticed tonight that I'm getting this error. Couldn't trace it to an individual plugin. Any feedback?

 

what version of craftbukkit are you using?

 

same here
bukkit 733

Code:

2011-04-26 13:13:12 [INFO] Starting minecraft server version Beta 1.5_02

Happens to me to. Didn't seem to cause any problems.

 

happens to me as well.

 

Still happening, build 740.

 

Same, no measurable effect on the server or it's performance.

 

list of plugins please?

 

My plugin list is quite long. However, I can tell you that I have temporarily removed a large number of plugins, but still got the message. I removed all of the plugins and the error went away.
I started adding plugins back in 3 at a time. At one point, I got the message, removed the last 3 plugins that I had just put in there and re-ran the server, but the error was still there. Which really has me scratching my head.
I will do some more testing tomorrow to try to track it down.

 

hmmmm. Okay. What 3 plugins were they?

 

Didn't have the time today. Work got in the way.

 

In order to solve this, create an "ebean.properties" file in the same folder as your server.properties.

The file can be blank.

 

Yep. Quick. Easy. Solved. THANKS!
Anyone know what this file is actually for? Which plugin is using it?

 

The same problem appeared after updates via the plug CraftBukkitUpToDate,updated a couple of plug-ins "iConomy, AuthMe, MultiHome, iConomyChestShop, and CommandBook" after it became an error ebean.properties.

 

It is used by bukkit's built-in persistence. Any plugins that use persistence will cause the message.

 

How to create in notepad or ..
I got it no problem here longer.

 

It is banhammer, for me I create ebean.properties, and problem is gone

 

same here. banhammer caused it.

 

Just a note to all server admins: this is a totally harmless error. Bukkit's built-in persistence system uses some software called Ebean to manage databases. For some reason, if there isn't an ebean.properties file, even an empty one, the system throws this message. Plugins don't need this file to properly use databases and the Ebean software doesn't need any information to be inside this file.

tl;dr: This is the totally harmless result of some built-in Bukkit software. Certain plugins use this software, and when they do, this error is thrown.
