you have class enclosing class of same name. i'm not sure why have outer cuberanks class, either rid of outer one, or rename 1 of them.

public class cuberanks { // remove or rename      public class cuberanks extends javaplugin { // or rename         ...     }  } 

syntactically, reason why can't have inner class same name outer class remove following ambiguity:

public class ambiguous {     public class ambiguous {         ambiguous a; // <-- type ambiguous referring here?     }  } 

you argue recent enclosing type name take precedence, how refer outer type? while there theoretically ways design language around of that, it's easier disallow it.
