InvalidPluginException

Hi,
I'm a totally newbie at both Plugins for Bukkit and Java too. But I'm not unexperienced with C++, so I thought, I'd get it.

I'm using the Bukkit-Plugin-Generator to create an Eclipse project for me. I implemented the basic plugin class as well as the PlayerListener and the BlockListener.
I export the whole thing as a Jar file and place it into my Plugins-Folder of the current craftbukkit. After loading, I get this error:

Code:

I attach the whole Project in the ZIP-File

 

your plugin.yml is wrong

you have currently:

Code:

name: DropChest
main: com.bukkit.narrowtux.DropChest
version: 0.1
 

it should be:

Code:

name: DropChest
main: com.bukkit.narrowtux.DropChest.DropChest
version: 0.1

-> you have to specify the class name, not just the package

 

Thank you! That helped a lot. Maybe I'll adjust the Wiki-Page for creating a Plugin.

 

Ugh dang does anyone know where I would change the class name on a mac?

 

I started reading from the first post,and i was like...narowtux, newbie at plugins? the hell?
Seriously,try not to bump ancient threads...
And you change a class's name by selecting it in the IDE and pressing CTRL+R!

 

Lol me too I was like WTF?

 

thank you for bumping it -.-

 

But on a mac?

 

CMD-ALT-R
Look in the Source and Refactor menu if you're unsure about shortcuts.

 

Can someone please give me step by step instructions on how to fix this for mac thank you so much! I've been looking everywhere
