You are trying to fit a String object into an Enchantment object. Unfortunately, a String is not an Enchantment.

I'm not intimately familiar with the Bukkit API, however you will need to use one of the Enchantment constructors. I would recommend you become more familiar with the Java programming language basics before writing your own mods and plugins, though, as a general rule.

Got it:

Enchantment enchantTYPE = Enchantment.getByName(enchantINFO[0]);
