Plugin Help: Invalid plugin.yml
Maxonomous

So, today, I made my first plugin, but then, I get this error on console when I start my server:
17:32:12: [SEVERE] Could not load 'plugins\ExampleProject.jar' in folder 'plugins'
org.bukkit.plugin.InvalidDescriptionException: Invalid plugin.yml
I have a download to the files below, and if anyone could check it out or possibly fix it or tell me what's wrong it'd be greatly appreciated!

Awww, I saw that it says plugin.yml and really wanted to help as this was the first Bukkit Plugin related thread I've seen on here in a while and someone else beat me to it >.<

I still need a little help, I mean, you could assist. It'd be greatly appreciated!

Wait... what?
Why would you make a plugin that displays errors when the server starts and stops? And, you have /sandvich in your plugin.yml but not in your actual code. Are you sure you know Java and are familiar with Bukkit API? It seems like you wrote a program but don't know what you just wrote... did someone else do this for you?

Well, I mean, I am really new to Java, and I am no expert. I'm not very good at it and I'm still learning, and I still need help.

Bukkit is not the best way to learn java try making some simple programs on your own.

You need to learn java before you start making plugins... I mean seriously read your errors...

Oh! I'm sorry! I am SO stupid! The rest of the files I need are in Eclipse.

Okay, thanks, and this might sound noobish, and I'm sorry to bother you, but how do I find the main class? Is it the .class file in the max folder in the ExampleProject.jar?
1
the main is the main class file the file which extends JavaPlugin and the version is just the plugins version number, not sure if its used for anything too important.
1
Okay, that's great, thanks, but, I don't understand the Main and Version. Could you politely explain what it is?

no wonder why you crash... you NEED the first part... here is a complete plugin.yml from one of my plugins:
name: AutoResponder
main: nickfromgreek.autoResponder.AutoResponder
version: 1.0
commands:
autoresponder:
description: Main control command.
usage: /<command> <action>
permission: autoresponder.control
permission-message: You don't have permission1
Post your modified plugin.yml you derped something there
