[SOLVED] Need help with plugin.yml Error

I have a very bad error I cannot resolve...I have a plugin.yml file, everything is right, the correct points, no tabs ect, but if I start my server after I had compiled, it says:

Code:

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

My plugin.yml is like the following:

Code:

name: RottenEating
main: me.Luloak2.RottenEating.RottenEating
version: 1.0

Please help me...
I already made some plugins, but I never had that before...

 

Notice this line: "Jar does not contain plugin.yml"

Please let us know exact file name of your plugin.yml and the location you created it, maybe a screenshot?

 

Thanks for the fast reply, but I solved my problem.
I just created a whole new project, copyed my files and it worked... Mysterios, isn't it??

 

I think I know why that happened. If you use an external editor other than Eclipse for editing yml files then you will have to right click your project and press refresh after you have edited your plugin.yml.

Otherwise Eclipse exports the old version of the plugin.yml which in your case was empty.

 

Yeh, that could have been my problem Thx for that, I will use the "Refresh" button next time!

 

Ok, what I did was setup up eclipse to open yml files in the built in editor. I prefer it in many ways and you don't need to refresh everytime you edit it.
