message-category:
    default:
        SERVER_STOP: Testing the server..
        KICK_FULL: '%msg'
        PLAYER_QUIT: '%msg'
        KICK_WHITELIST: '%msg'
        KICK_KICK_LEAVEMSG: '%msg'
        KICK_KICK_REASON: '%msg'
        PLAYER_JOIN: Hello &b%pName&f  in world %world
        KICK_BANNED: '%msg'
    permnode1:
        SERVER_STOP: Oh well...
    permnode2:
        PLAYER_JOIN: Welcome the admin


where permnode1 is messagechanger.message.permnode1 and permnode2 is messagechanger.message.permnode2

code like this:




private static List<String> readStringList(String root) {
    YamlConfiguration config = load();
    List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (String key : config.getConfigurationSection(root).getKeys(false)) {
        list.add(key);
    }
    return list;
}

private static HashMap<String, List<String>> messages = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();
private static List<String> messageCategory;

messageCategory = readStringList("message-category");
Iterator<String> it = messageCategory.iterator();
String next = null;
while (it.hasNext()) {
    next = it.next();
    messages.put(next, readStringList("message-category."+next);
}


retrieval of data via

Iterator<String> it = messageCategory.iterator();
String permNnode;
String msg;
while (it.hasNext()) {
    permNode = it.next();
    if (player.hasPermission("messagechanger.message."+ permNode)) {
        msg = getMessage(permNode, event);
    }
}
if (msg == null) {
    msg = getMessage("default", event);
}
sendMessage(msg, event);


where getMessages uses String permNode to get the message for the specific Event event, if the message is empty because permNode doesn't exist it returns null

where sendMessage will send the String msg via the correct Handler for the Event event
