As the error states,

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: me.f levasgr.rainbow.Reporter

it cannot find the main class of your plugin. Perhaps one of your package names is capitalized, or your main class is lowercase. Bukkit's plugin loader is case sensitive when it comes to loading the main class.

i.imgur.com/ckJOJCE.png I think the names was okay. I changed the main to me.flevasgr.Reporter and still nothing

In that case, it should be me.flevasgr.rainbow.Reporter.Reporter. Bukkit couldn't find the class as you were only specifying the package, Bukkit requires the package along with the class.

I meant in plugin.yml, main should equal me.flevasgr.rainbow.Reporter.Reporter, my fault for not specifying that

There are different reasons for a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException in bukkit, the most common reason is that the plugin.yml doesn't point to the correct location.

If you have the following class:

package me.flevasgr.rainbow.reporter;
//...
public class Reporter {

Then you should copy the full package, place a dot and then place the name of the class, like this:

main: me.flevasgr.rainbow.reporter.Reporter

This makes sure bukkit will find your class on the correct location.
