Custom plugin

I just started to learn how to make plugins and work with bukkit. Everything was ok until I was told to set up the plugin.yml in my tutorial that I was watching. In the video I was watching he named the file plugin.yml and when he finished it automatically sent him to a blank yml page. Then once I uploaded the plugin to my bukkit server and there was a huge error in the console that said:

20:12:36 [SEVERE] Could not load 'plugins/class.jar' in folder 'plugins'

Could someone please help, it would be greatly appreciated. I think it has to do something with the plugin.yml.

 

We need the plugin.yml code.

 

moved to plugin development.

You cant use tabs in a plugin.yml. Other wise care to post what you have in it so I can see?

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

 

willsdamon898 Will instead of tabs use spaces.

Can you put this in pastebin, pastie or in syntax? It looks like there's some spacing issues with your plugin.yml plain pasted.
Syntax is like this

PHP:

[syntax=java]your code here
The next line here
Another line[/syntax]
