Newsletter v1.0.2
Well, hello! This is my very first plugin. I wanted a light-weight news plugin that can display ...well... news! So I went on and learned how to make a Server Plugin with my fairly small java abilities. I have to say: I learned lots while coding this plugin and even though it won't become a "big deal", I'm happy if there's at least someone out there who can use Newsletter!

Functions
As mentioned above, this Plugin is meant to be a newsreader. It reads a certain file and spits it out!
One can edit this news-file either directly ingame or with any desired text-editor.

Configuration
In order to configure this Plugin, just simply drag & drop it into the plugins folder.
After the very first startup, it will create a file called news.txt in the root directory of your server (where your craftbukkit.jar sits).
Of course, the Plugin has Permission Support. The Nodes are as follows:
| With Permission Plugin | Without Permission Plugin | ||
| /news | newsletter.news | requires nothing | |
| /news set | newsletter.news.set | requires OP | |
| /news notify | newsletter.news.notify | requires OP | |
| /news reload | newsletter.news.reload | requires OP | |
| /news help | newsletter.news.help | requires nothing | |
| update notification | newsletter.news.set | requires OP | |
| %time% timestamp | requires nothing | requires nothing | |
| %date% timestamp | requires nothing | requires nothing | |
| %br% new line | requires nothing | requires nothing |
