Could not load plugin (File cannot be null)

Here is the error I am receiving when I load up the plugin I made:

Code:

15:38:25 [SEVERE] Could not load 'plugins\tempteleport.jar' in folder 'plugins' org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidPluginException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File cannot be null

I'm assuming it's saying that one of the files is empty but they are all filled with code.
TTP.java
config.yml
plugin.yml

I have no idea what to do. I am also hesitant to put my code up here for people to use and copy so if you need it to find the bug, I will PM it to you.

Thanks in advance!

is there anything more to that stacktrace?

if not, i... think your plugin.yml is null, or doesnt point to the correct main class.

oh derp. My guess is OP is trying to access getConfig() before onEnable

 

It's got something to do with the config. When I removed anything that required/loaded the config, the plugin loaded fine.

Code:

package com.gmail.steppinghat;
 
import java.util.logging.Logger;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginDescriptionFile;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class TempTeleport extends JavaPlugin {
   
    public static TempTeleport plugin;
    public final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
    Logger log = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
   
    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        PluginDescriptionFile pdfFile = this.getDescription();
        this.logger.info(pdfFile.getName() + " has been disabled!");
    }
   
    public static int CONF_time;
   
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        PluginDescriptionFile pdfFile = this.getDescription();
        log.info("--------TEMPTELEPORT by SteppingHat--------");
        this.logger.info(pdfFile.getName() + " v" + pdfFile.getVersion() + " has been enabled!");
        log.info("-------------------------------------------");
        this.getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
        this.saveConfig();
        CONF_time = getConfig().getInt("time");
    }

There's the code.

 

This error happens already at loading. Does java has enough rights to create files/folders in your bukkit directory?

PS: You should not get the Minecraft-Logger for logging. There is a getLogger() method you could use. I also does the plugin prefixing for you automatically.

 

There are dozens of thready about this already, and the solution was always not to use getConfig() before onEnable() is called.
