The main goal to achiev with this library is to generate the plugin.yml and config.yml automatically from source code. So adding new permissions or increasing version number in pom.xml doesn't require you to update plugin.yml. Make your config.yml auto-update able.
To generate the plugin.yml before jar-generation you have to use Maven to build your project. As long as there is no documentation take a look at the pom.xml from LimitedCreative.
