Solved Invalid plugin.yml

Hi, Iv'e made a plugin so that you can save the armor your wearing and save it so that you can then put it back on with a command. I keep getting an error in the console, and have been trying to figure it out all day. If anyone could try to figure out whats wrong that would be great.
Here's my plugin.yml

Code:

main: me.AcePilot10.AceArmorSave
name: ArmorSave
version: 1.0
commands:
  getsavedarmor:
    description: Sets your saved armor
  savearmor:
    description: Saves your current armor

and here's my console error

Code:

[16:23:29 ERROR]: Could not load 'plugins\AceSaveArmor.jar' in folder 'plugins'
org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidDescriptionException: Invalid plugin.yml
        at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPluginLoader.getPluginDescription(JavaPlug
inLoader.java:150) ~[craftbukkit.jar:git-Bukkit-1.7.9-R0.2-20-g0b2ed13-b3108jnks

Thanks so much for any help!

 

Are you sure you put your main class into the plugin.yml because I don't see anything else that could be causing this issue.

 

do you use tabs in the plugin.yml ?? if you do delete them, they causing issues

 

Code:

@AcePilot10
What is the project name? It should be written like
[project name].[main class]
For example
me.JasonT148796.hats.hat
me.JasonT148796.hats - project
hat - main method

Try this:

if that doesn't work add a .ArmorSave to main.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Still getting the same error :/ also I do have my main class in yml (me.AcePilot10.ArmorSave.Main) but it got cut off when I copied it.
All I have in my main class is an onEnable and onDisable method. Would it help if I posted the code of my other 2 classes (ArmorManager, commands)

 

Code:

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Jar does not contain plugin.yml

 

@teej107 Why would the jar not contain the yml this problem is happening to all my projects. Even the ones Iv'e tested before.

 

Because you don't package the plugin.yml file in when you generate the jar. Or the yml is in the wrong place inside the jar.

 

The plugin.yml should be in the root of the src folder, not in any packages
Plugin layout:

Code:

Plugin:
  src:
    name.package.plugin:
      main.class
    plugin.yml

if that makes sense to you

 

It would help to see your directory structure of an uncompressed jar.

 

Thanks so much for the help!!! With all your responses I found out that when I made my plugin.yml I made it inside the package not the jar itself. Once again thanks for all the responses!!
