PlayerJoinEvent not sending before MOTD?

So basically, I want it so the PlayerJoinEvent sends the message of the day, here is what I have done so far:

Code (Text):

    @EventHandler
    public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        //So this sends first, at the moment it is sending this AFTER the 'welcome back.. ' part.
        event.setJoinMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "+" + ChatColor.GRAY +  player.getName());
       
        //motd
        player.sendMessage("Welcome back" + player.getName());
    }

 

Sorry - another question why can't I do this:

Code (Text):

player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + ChatColor.STRIKETHROUGH + ChatColor.BOLD + "================================");

I this error: The operator + is undefined for the type of arguement(s)

 

Thanks

Will this work..?

Code (Text):

    @EventHandler
    public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        event.setJoinMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "+ " + ChatColor.GRAY +  player.getName());
   
        new BukkitRunnable() {
           
            @Override
            public void run() {
                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + ChatColor.STRIKETHROUGH.toString() + ChatColor.BOLD + "================================");
            }
        };
    }

 

Sorry, where would I put it in mine?

 

Where do I get the (plugin) from, at the moment its underlined red?

 

Er..?

Code (Text):

public class PlayerListener extends JavaPlugin {

//code

}.runTask(PlayerListener);

Still underlined red.

 

Yes, I noticed \n doesn't work now I am using the .translateAlternateColorCodes do you know what I can use instead?
