    I have set up my plugin, but am trying to get a configuration section key. For some reason, Eclipse isn't liking that and has changed String to Set<String> therefore causing an error (sadly, I've lost the error and don't have it. It did point to a line that has Set<String> though). I'm trying to get a configuration section that looks like this:
    Code:
    location:
      world:
        PermissionsEx
          - world
          - Spawn
    
    So speciically I'm trying to get the String PermissionsEx, but that isn't working. Originally, I had the line to get that value be like this:
    Code:
    String targetPlugin = config.getConfigurationSection("location.world").getKeys(false);
    
    But Eclipse complained and gave me this error:
    Code:
    Type mismatch: cannot convert from Set<String> to String
    
    And asked me to change the line to this:
    Code:
    Set<String> targetPlugin = config.getConfigurationSection("location.world").getKeys(false);
    
    The whole class is below. But I also have one more question: How do I get the values world and Spawn in the config I showed above? I can set it so that I only get one World, but I really don't to do that. Thanks!

    1. In your config "PermissionsEx" should have a colon, like "PermissionsEx:".
    2. Use config.getStringList(); and store it as a List<String> as oppose to a Set<String>

    EDIT: My bad, you want the PermissionsEx string.

    Well still, the first point applies. Definitely try that first.

    @Xp10d3 ConfigurationSection#getKeys(boolean) returns a Set<String> of all the keys in that section; the return type of that method doesn't change just because you only have 1 key in that section.

    Oh. I see. So how do I get the string PermissionsEx if Set<String> is what's returned?

    @Xp10d3 Use ConfigurationSection#getString("PermissionsEx") if you want to get the value (as a String) from the key "PermissionsEx".

    Sorry still a bit confused. ConfigurationSection.getString doesn't seem to work. If I am to set targetPlugin to a configuration section I don't understand how I would create a new variable from that?
    EDIT: Never mind got it xD But I get an error trying to do that. It's a type mismatch trying to do:
    Code:
    ConfigurationSection targetPlugin = config.getString("location.world");
    
    Trying to do #getKeys() just adds more errors.

    @Xp10d3 Could you explain to us what it is that you want to do? Then we might be able to help you easier.

    Sure. Sorry, I'm trying to disable all events in a specific world. I have one line that does that, but I need to add a few elements so that it works by getting the config. So if my config is like this:
    Code:
    location:
      world:
        PermissionsEx:
          - world
          - Spawn
        WorldEdit:
          - world_nether
          - world_end
    
    I want PermissionsEx events to be disabled in World world and the World Spawn, and I want WorldEdit to be disabled in the nether and the end (just examples). But I am getting some errors with ConfigurationSection itself which is why I came to the Bukkit forums.

    @Xp10d3 You should read up on this.
    the config is your FileConfiguration, the ConfigurationSection is a section inside the config.
    ConfigurationSection#getString(String) returns a String, not a ConfigurationSection.
    ConfigurationSection#getKeys() returns a Set<String>, not a String.

    EDIT: You'll probably want to loop the keys and then get the values.
    Something like this should work:
    Code:Java
    1. FileConfiguration config = getConfig();
    2. ConfigurationSection section = config.getConfigurationSection("location.world");
    3. for (String key : section.getKeys(false)) {
    4. List<String> worlds = section.getStringList(key);
    5. // Do something with your worlds
    6. }

    Wait a sec but I did ConfigurationSection#getString(String) if I'm not mistaken, but I still get an error trying to do:
    Code:
    ConfigurationSection targetPlugin = config.getString("location.world");
    
    So that still leaves me with the question how do I fix the error and how do I get the String PermissionsEx in my config? Sorry I'm real confused :'(

    EDIT: Oh I understand. Then how do I get the ConfigurationSection since that's what I want and not Set<String>? Some of my code complains when I use Set<String>.
    EDIT 2: Sorry I think I figured it out. Is it something like the below? Also how do I get a list of entries like:
    Code:
    ...
        PermissionsEx
          - world
          - Spawn
    
    How do I get "world" and "Spawn" if my code is like:
    Code:
     String targetWorld = config.getString("location.world." + targetPlugin + ".world"); 
    Code:
    Code:
        @SuppressWarnings("unlikely-arg-type")
        public void supress() {
            //Set<String> targetPlugin = config.getConfigurationSection("location.world").getKeys(false);
            ConfigurationSection targetPlugin = config.getConfigurationSection("location.world");
            targetPlugin.getKeys(false);
            String targetWorld = config.getString("location.world." + targetPlugin + ".world");
            filter(PlayerInteractEvent.class, (plugin, event) -> plugin == targetPlugin && event.getPlayer().getWorld().equals(targetWorld));
        }
