Get UserMap in Essentials

This is probably pretty silly, but what am I doing wrong here?

Code:

UserMap map = Essentials.getUserMap();

Eclipse is giving out an error saying "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getUserMap() from the type Essentials"

I'm trying to make a plugin that will get Bans from Essentials, specifically about temp bans and reasons for bans.

 

When you attempt to get the method with Essentials.*, you're referencing it in a static fashion, as Essentials is a variable type. Eclipse is informing you that the method is not specified as static, meaning you can't do this. I don't have any experience with referencing other plugins so the only suggestion I can make is to manually get the user's associated YAML file from the Essentials folder. Maybe someone else will be by to help you in a bit.

 

Yeah, the main problem is the YAML provides no parseable info about temp ban lengths, it seems to be a reference to a ban length (A long, non descript number).
