    How do I go look for the JavaPluginLoader.java?

    That would be looking at the wrong part of the trace. Look below it for the reason it fired.

    Pro tip: if you right click where the line numbers should be in Eclipse (the left margin), an option will appear for you to enable line numbers.

    I mean, for this type of error is it usually the first line?

    You just really have to think about the logic; usually near the top is the best place to start but in your PerformanceTweaks.java file, it calls ChunkPersistance.java, and that top line is the terminating point where (typically) the issue is caused.

    For this:
    http://pastie.org/5128337

    Is: at me.plugin.ptweaks.ChunkPersistance.onEnable(ChunkPersistance.java:85)

    And: at me.plugin.ptweaks.PerformanceTweaks.onEnable(PerformanceTweaks.java:56)

    Right?

    The second one calls the first one, so yes.
