Solved Help within the next day: Unable to make Plugins

Okay, I can't make any plugins. When I try exporting it, it doesn't work. I have plugin.yml:

Code:java

name: FlashFlood
version: 1.0.0

main: com.gmail.juffatoot.flashflood.Main
database: false
 
commands:
  blockchanger:
    description: Toggle plugin on/off
    aliases: [FlashFlood]
    permission: flashflood.toggle
    usage: Syntax error! Simply type /<command> to toggle.
 
 
permissions:
  flashflood.*:
    description: Gives access to all FlashFlood commands
    children:
      flashflood.toggle: true
  flashflood.toggle:
    description: Allows you to toggle plugin.
    default: true

This is the error message:

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Jar does not contain plugin.yml
... 9 more

I may have different versions, but Only by 0.1 version, could someone please tell me what's wrong?

Also, This is how my folders are set out:
FlashFlood
src
com.gmail.juffatoot.flashflood
Main.java
BlockChanger.java
plugin.yml
(end)

 

juffatoot
Can you post a screenshot of your project's workspace?

Code:

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Jar does not contain plugin.yml

 

That was quick, here it is:

 

juffatoot
Your plugin.yml is in the wrong location, move it into the base project directory (Where the src folder is)

 

I've done that as well, it still doesn't work. But I'll change it to that for now, thanks.

 

juffatoot
You need to move it then hit F5 on the file, as well as the project then export it (Refreshes the whole project)

 

It should look something like this (ignore the 'lang.yml' file):

 

I always refresh before exporting, but thanks.

so no main file? I'm confused...
Also, When I export it it turns to a folder with the following:

Code:

FlashFlood
  bin
    com
      gmail
        juffatoot
          flashflood
            Main.class
            BlockChanger.class
  src
    com
      gmail
        juffatoot
          flashflood
            Main.java
            BlockChanger.java
  plugin.yml

Okay, Apparently I'm using javaSE-1.6 instead of 1.7
just picked it up, would this be the problem?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Drag your 'plugin.yml' file below 'Referenced Libraries'. Then, refresh (F5) and save (CTRL+S) your project.
If that still doesn't work, please post another screenshot.

 

S

Sorry I took so long to respond, had to finish up maths study. It still didn't work images coming right up

Hmm. That looks fine to me. Try opening the .jar as an archive and see if it contains the plugin.yml file.

 

Make sure that you're exporting the project, not the src folder.

 

okay i have a 1.7 server and i use the 1.6 javaSE
also, When I export it it's already a folder, so i compress it so, yes it does contain it.

 

juffatoot
Not in the referenced libraries, but below it. Meaning you need to drag it I to the FlashFlood folder.

 

Hey big, good to see you again, buddy. I've said previously that I do export that folder.

It was already in the main folder, look closer..

Oops, my bad!

Should be working if it is there, is it correctly formatted? Check it at http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/

Since it says the file isn't found, are you sure your exporting all of it? So,e time eclipse goes crazy and would only export my src, or only my plugin.yml.

 

Ohh! Check you're export configuration! Make sure that everything is selected!

 

uuh....here's the formatting

Code:java

huh? I right click the folder that contains everything click refresh, then click export. Thanks, for you help big

I don't think it has anything to do with the formatting:

Code:

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Jar does not contain plugin.yml

 

juffatoot
Yea, you should have posted this to start with! simple fix hopefully. Yaml doesn't support URL tags. Try

Code:

name: FlashFlood

Wizehh
Even if it isn't, if he did fix the yml not bring there, how would he know it worked? At least it would fix a future error.

 

then what is it? I've included everything that needs to be included and more.

rea

really??????? I'll try that. If it still doesn't work I'll say. Also look above is it because of 1.6 javaSE and I have a 1.7 server no-one's answered that and it may be the problem.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Ummmm... First of all, very strange.
Try to remove the database and the website as they are not needed.

 

juffatoot
Make sure you have all of these options ticked (ignore 'lang.yml'):

 

juffatoot
Java version has nothing to do with the minecraft version. I would recommend using java 7 as I believe that's what all of it is built with.

 

It can't be the problem.
It doesn't matter that this is a 1.7 server. This is a 1.7 server because this is the MC version.

 

still not working :/

I'm using java 7 also, how would a 1.6 plugin work with a 1.7 server?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

juffatoot
Error still the plugin.yml isn't found?

At least it will save you from a future error.

Minecraft version and java version are seperate. Just ignore them. Make sure you are using the rig bukkit build and that you are compiling against 1.7

 

k... Replied with same answer as post above.

mmm......still not idk why. *sigh. Any other suggestions?

You can change the compiler level to JavaSE-1.7, but it will do nothing.
If you want to change, go to the properties of the project, Java Compiler and change to 1.7.

Then go to the Build Path and do add library and add the JRE System Library. then, do next and choose 1.7. Then remove the 1.6 library.
