Cannot Find Symbol Compiler Error

So, I'm attempting to create a plugin for my own server to mess with my friends. I'm using NetBeans 7.1. I get an error saying it can't find the symbol. Here's the code: (I realize I need to clean it up, rename the package, etc.)

Code:

/*

 */
package ditch;

import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

/**

 * @author Ice_sword
 */
public class Ditch extends JavaPlugin {
    
    
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    }
    static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");

    public Player getEventname(Player other) {
        return other;
    }
    
    
    

    @Override
    public void onEnable(){
                PluginManager pm = this.getServer().getPluginManager();
    }
 
   

    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        Player player = null;
        
        
        if (sender instanceof Player) {
            player = (Player) sender;
        }
     
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("Q?")) {
            if (player == null) {
                sender.sendMessage("Hey look, a bird.");
            } else {
                log.info(player.getName() + ": Q?");
                        sender.sendMessage("Hey look, a bird.");
                        return true;
            }
        }
        else if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("ag")){
            Player other = (Player) sender;
            Player target = other.getWorld().getPlayer(args[0]);
            broadcastMessage("Test....");
            return true;
                
        
        }
     
return false;
}
    
    @Override
    public void onDisable(){
    }



}

So, the two issues I get are from broadcastMessage, and getPlayer. The errors I get are:

cannot find symbol
symbol: method getPlayer(java.lang.String)
location: interface org.bukkit.World

and

cannot find symbol
symbol: method broadcastMessage(java.lang.String)
location: ditch.Ditch


It's probably simple, but, I haven't been programing very long...

So, what I'm wanting to happen is when someone types "/ag <playername> <string>" It will broadcast a message to the server saying something like, "Achievement get! <playername> just got an achievement for <string>."

I'm stumbling my way through this, and I realize the code above won't do exactly what I want. I'm trying to work in steps so I understand the code better. I'm one of those guys that has to fiddle with something like this to understand it.

I hope that made sense, and I'd appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer.

 

well, the errory basicly say that the compiler cant find the methods "getPlayer" and "broadcastMessage".
the solution is pretty simple:
the method "getPlayer" isn't defined in a world on the server, but IN the server, so simply use "this.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);"
same with "broadcastMessage": "this.getServer().broadcastMessage("Test....");"

 

Thank you sir! Works fine. I've already spent a long time looking for the solution and you gave it to me in a flash.

 

Im glad i was able to help
