Possible Future Additions

Change Log
- V 1.0.3: Added the ability for the console or a player (with the permission node news.update) to force the RSS feed to update. Seem to have fixed the problems with java 6 compatibility
- V 1.0.2: Added an info and infoOnJoin property to the config.yml which allows you to have a more info type dialogue before the news is displayed (which can be toggled on and off for the onJoin with the infoOnJoin property). I also adjusted the way that the message is sent to the players.
- V 1.0.1: The prefix in the chat can be changed through the config.yml prefix property
- V 1.0.0: Initial release, what you see is what you get.
Command
- /news - This displays the items from the RSS feed that were downloaded by the last update (this does not force an update).
- /news update - Allows the server console or anyone with the permission node news.update to force the RSS feed to update.
Permission Nodes
- news.ignore - Makes it so that a player does not have the MOTD appear upon joining the server.
- news.update - Allows the player to force an update of the RSS feed (defaulted to op)
