Issues with reloading plugin?

So my plugin works fine, everything is perfect, op overrides commands, but when i reload the plugin nothing happens no errors, no chat feedback, nothing. Heres the code, its supposed to say "reloading..." here is my code

Code:

  public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args)
  {
    Player p = null;
    if ((sender instanceof Player)) {
      p = (Player)sender;
    }
    if (command.getName().equals("WhosOnline")) {
      if (args.length == 0) {
        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "By kittenchunks  :D.");
      }
      if ((args.length == 1) && (
        (args[0].equals("reload")) || (args[0].equals("-reload")))) {
        if (sender.hasPermission("WhosOnline.reload")) {
          logger.info(desc.getName() + " reloading.");
          pm.disablePlugin(this);
          pm.enablePlugin(this);
          return true;
        }
        p.sendMessage("You don't have permission to do that! :[");
      }
 
    }

Any help ? Thanks

 

I don't think you can reload a plugin from itself. Bukkit has the built in commands for that. A reload command within your plugin should reload a config, external file, or something similar to that.

 

Bukkit has a built in "reloadConfig()" method which will re-read the config file from disk.
All other reset actions have to be done within your own coding. (like reloading custom files or re-initializing fields or variables...)

 

Why not just call your plugins onDisable() and onEnable() methods? Assuming you were handling cleanup correctly in the first place I don't think that will break anything.

P.S. I just woke up so I could be forgetting some blatantly obvious reason you shouldn't be doing this. But I think it would be fine.

 

I would try reenabling it one tick later, using the scheduler.

EDIT: However, then it would remove the task, wouldn't it...
