I assume that you're trying to write a plugin and not using a plugin from another developer.

The error message is "Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String incompatible with java.util.Map
        at org.bukkit.plugin.PluginDescriptionFile.loadMap(PluginDescriptionFile.java:1043)"

PluginDescriptionFile is referring to the plugin.yml file. Please read how that is structured at https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/plugin-yml/

Please also read how the YAML format works in general and if you still can't find where you made errors with spaces and tabs use an online YAML parser to validate your file.
