Plugin Help 'Cannot find main class'

Solved by @Zombie_Striker

As the comment in the code says, if I include

Code:

getLogger().info("This does not show in console!");

in the code, I get an error, but if it isn't there, there is no error? It is a bug because I am not changing anything about the plugin.yml, but the error says that it is the problem.

Error (open) Error (close)

Code:

First, why are you on 1.8? Please read this.

Are you sure you are exporting the class files? Try opening your jar file and see if the .class file exists.

 

@Zombie_Striker Thank you! I checked the class files, and they weren't there. I noticed that because I put my builds folder in eclipse, it probably mixed something up... When I moved my builds folder, the classes were there, and everything is now working! I feel like an idiot now...
