I'm following a java tutorial on how to make plugins, but each time I try to run the plugins on my server, I get this message.

    >reload
[09:04:18] [Server thread/INFO]: CONSOLE: Please note that this command is not supported and may cause issues when using some plugins.

[09:04:18] [Server thread/INFO]: CONSOLE: If you encounter any issues please use the /stop command to restart your server.

    You don't have a `plugin.yml`, your plugin **must** have one. Have a read of this [Spigot wiki page](https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/plugin-yml/) on the plugin.yml. – Lucan Jul 07 '20 at 17:57

You have to create a plugin.yml in your src folder of your plugin

enter image description here

You have to put at least thesevalues in the plugin.yml

name: TestPlugin
version: 1.0.0
author: McPlayHD

main: net.mcplayhd.testplugin.TestPlugin

where main points to your JavaPlugin class (the main class)

Like Lucan answered you can read more about all the contents of plugin.yml in the Spigot wiki page
