[Badger]

The project with all directories opened in IDE (and showing the pom.xml):

Error I get within console when plugin is in /plugins directory:

Your packages should be in main/java

Your ymls should be in main/resources

And your main class is wrong in plugin.yml

Your "com....." packages should be inside the "java" folder (the blue one).
