Development Assistance Code not running properly

Code:

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args) {
        if(!(sender instanceof Player)) {
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Could not send command :(.");
            return true;
        }
     
        Player p = (Player) sender;
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("bounty")) { 
            if(args.length > 0 && args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("test")) {
                dropHead(p.getLocation(), p);
                return true;
            }
            if(!(args.length < 2)) {
                if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("set")) {
                    if(args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("contractor")) {
                        if(p.hasPermission("hb.spawn")) {
                            spawnContractor(p.getWorld().toString(), p.getLocation());
                            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Successfully spawned contractor.");
                            return true;
                        }
                        p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Could not send command :(.");
                        return true;
                    }
                    p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Not enough arguments specified.");
                    return true;
                }
                [B]String target = args[0];
                Double amnt = Double.parseDouble(args[1]);
                if(Bukkit.getServer().getOnlinePlayers().contains(target)) {
                    bounties.put(Bukkit.getPlayer(target), amnt);
                    return true;
                }
                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Could not find specified player.");
                return true;
            }[/B]
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Not enough arguments specified.");
            return true;
        }
        return true;
    }

I have bolded my issue. What I want to happen here is if a player sends /bounty <player> <amount>, to add the target to a hashmap, if the player is online. For some reason however, that code is being ignored, and it appears to just be sending the "Could not find specified player." message. If anyone could provide some insight here, it would be appreciated. Ignore my mess please .

mm.
Also, if it's not adding them to the hashmap, then obviously trying to get them from the hashmap will return null.

 

@pie_flavor I do not understand why I did post that bit, I have already figured out that it was because the other command wasn't running (bounty (p) (amount)). The reason I'm using .toString() was because it needed a string for the world name.

 

bump

 

if(Bukkit.getServer().getOnlinePlayers().contains(target)) {
bounties.put(Bukkit.getPlayer(target), amnt);
return true;
}
Replace that to
if(Bukkit.getPlayer(target) != null){
//CODE
}
