Solved plugin.yml error?

Hi, I've been coding plugins for quite a while now, and I've come across a "noobish" error, but I simply do not know what it is, help is appreciated, my plugin.yml looks like this, please note, I know about YAML's not allowing tabs, and I haven't used them.

name: Tazer
main: me.samthelord1.tazer.Tazermain
version: 1.0.0
author: samthelord1
commands:
tazer:
description: Get a tazer!
usage: /<command>
permissions:
tazer.taze:
description: Taze
default: op
tazer.get:
description: Get a tazer
default: op

My stack trace:

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

 

Is the plugin.yml in the src folder of the project?
When not drag and drop it into the folder!

KingNyuels my plugin.yml is in the plugin folder, as I said, I am updating the plugin.yml from what it had been before, and what do you mean by drag and drop it into the folder?

 

The Project is setup so:
ProjectName
-src
-Package with your classes

Just put the plugin.yml in the src-folder (in eclipse you can drag and drop it!)

 

KingNyuels 1.

2. I'm not using eclipse, I'm using netbeans.

chasechocolate any idea?

Samthelord1 it has to be formatted correctly, try this:

Code:

name: Tazer
main: me.samthelord1.tazer.Tazermain
version: 1.0.0
author: samthelord1
commands:
  tazer:
    description: Get a tazer!
    usage: /<command>
permissions:
  tazer.taze:
    description: Taze
    default: op
  tazer.get:
    description: Get a tazer
    default: op

 

chasechocolate it is formatted, that was just a paste error :/

 

Samthelord1 ah, ok. In the error, see this?

Code:

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

When you are exporting your project, make sure that the plugin.yml file gets exported too. Also, it has to be inside the project folder rather than in some package or sub-folder.

 

chasechocolate that's where I'm stuck, because this has only happened today when I've been building it, it's saying that even though I've edited no preferences in netbeans

chasechocolate https://forums.bukkit.org/threads/plugin-yml-not-found-in-jar.115409/ you commented xD I think I should put it into my src because looking at that I think I have the same error will test and edit to solved

chasechocolate hey, what do you know! fixed
