Plugin Help: Invalid plugin.yml
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.
Facepalm Everywere >;o

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

Okay, I did everything right, and I got a new error:
20:47:34 [SEVERE] Could not load 'plugins\ExampleProject.jar' in folder 'plugins'

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?
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.
Okay, that's great, thanks, but, I don't understand the Main and Version. Could you politely explain what it is?
Here 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 permissionPost your modified plugin.yml you derped something there
Thank you SOO much! It fixed the error! But now I get a new one. Can you fix it as well?
