    I have a command and split[1] is where the person types in the username. I want to send that player a message. How would I go about checking if its a real player then sending the message?

    You could do something like this:
    Code:
    if (split.length != 2) {
    player.sendMessage("Usage: ...");
} else {
    List<Player> players = plugin.getServer().matchPlayer(split[1]);
    if (players.size() == 0) {
        player.sendMessage("No matching player.");
    } else if (players.size() != 1) {
        player.sendMessage("Matched more than one player!  Be more specific!");
    } else {
        Player victim = players.get(0);
        victim.sendMessage(player.getName() + " sent you a message!");
    }
}
