    public final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
    public static FactionD plugin;
   
    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        PluginDescriptionFile pdffile = this.getDescription();
        this.logger.info(pdffile.getName() + "Has Been Disabled!");
    }
   
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        PluginDescriptionFile pdffile = this.getDescription();
        this.logger.info(pdffile.getName() + "Version" + "Has Been Enabled!");
    }
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("capture")){ // If the player typed /capture then do the following...
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Capturing...");
            return true;
        } //If this has happened the function will return true.
            // If this hasn't happened the a value of false will be returned.
        return false;
    }
}

and my plugin.yml file...

Code:

name: Faction Dominate
version: 0.1
main: me.Repasa.Fd
author: Repasa
description: Test

Please help me out
Thanks in advance!

 

Don't have the capital P in plugin.yml, pretty sure that's your problem.

 

no thats not it

 

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Jar does not contain plugin.yml
Are you sure your plugin.yml is just like that? Not Plugin.yml, plugin.yml That has to be the error

 

that is not the problem either i have tried to change the letter case

 

Repasa Use something like 7-zip or winrar and open up the jar file to ensure that the created jar actually has a plugin.myl.

 

i open it up with winrar and this is whats in it
==================
META-inf
plugin.yml
.classpath
.project
==================

i have also tried to do it with out exporting the .classpath and .project

 

Your main is incorrect. It's {$MainClass}.{$MainJavaFile}

In your case it would be me.Repasa.Fd.FactionD

Since your package is incorrect, you may notice in your .jar (the file you opened with winrar),
you are missing your me folder that should be above META-INF. It would go me >> Repasa >> Fd >> FactionD.java.

 

Thank you so much i cant believe thats all it took....
