Correct plugin.yml?

Hello bukkit forums, my server gives me an error about it can not find the plugin.yml in my plugin and I was wondering if I completed my plugin.yml file correctly.

It looks like this:

name: SmartSmelt
main: com.gmail.eliteninja42.SmartSmelt.SmartSmelt
version: 1.0
author: EliteNinja42

commands:
smelt:
description: Smelts the ore/food in a player's hand at the time of when the command was given.
usage: /smelt
permission: SmartSmelt.smelt

permissions:
SmartSmelt.smelt:
description: Smelts the ore/food in a player's hand at the time of when the command was given.
default: op
permission-message: Your character does not contain the qualities to execute this command.



Is this correct?

Thanks ahead of time.

 

Eliteninja42 Please use "Code field" for this.
Otherways i can't see spaces

Eliteninja42 Your plugin.yml needs to be in src and not in your package. thats the problem of the most not working plugin.yml's

 

Eliteninja42
Remeber to not use tabs but purely spaces alone.

 

etaxi341 My plugin.yml is not in my package but it is in my source.
xTrollxDudex I will change the tabs to spaces, and may I ask why I should not use tabs?

 

Eliteninja42
The plugin.yml is translated as a YAML file, YAML has special syntax and does not allow tabs. It was only Bukkit's decision to use YAML, not decide on whether to use spaces or not.

 

xTrollxDudex I removed all tabs and inserted spaces, however my console gives me an error saying it couldn't load the plugin because of a incorrect plugin.yml. Any other suggestions?

 

Eliteninja42
Post the console. In code field

Refresh page

 

From when does in need to be in the src? It needs to be a dependant file in the SmartSmelt

 

xTrollxDudex I did refresh the page and used what you entered the console that i entered was what showed up.

 

Where is your plugin.yml?

 

Samthelord1
Look at my post.

 

Which one?

 

Samthelord1 My plugin.yml is in the java project folder but not in any package

Samthelord1 It's not really the most efficient way I think, and to tell the truth i'm not entirely sure this is going to work, but this is my first plugin.

 

Your plugin isn't implementing commandexecutor

 

Samthelord1 How would I fix this?

 

Samthelord1
It doesn't need to, it is inherited from JavaPlugin

 

It was me who made the nub mistake and if I'm right, else ifs aren't needed, just pure out if's although it won't make a diff

 

Samthelord1 I still get errors with my plugin.yml file though and without that working I cannot use the plugin. Any more suggestions?

 

Maybe use this as your plugin.yml test If it makes any diff (sorry for cutting end off)
