Is there anything you can do about "That file is not a valid plugin"with PlugMan #53 @ latest compiled Spigot 1.8.3?
The plugin jar isn't corrupt/damaged (i've checked the contents of the jar) and i'm not mistyping anything.
When trying to load the plugin it shows the following in console:
Even though it claims the plugin to be initialized, the plugin doesn't show up at /pl or /plugins.
The plugin jar isn't in use so it shouldn't be "initialized". This leds me to believe something is wrong.
Here's the complete stacktrace: http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/11875/
