Does the jar file exists that is mentioned in the error message? C:\Users\LYC\AppData\Roaming\skylot\jadx\config\plugins\installed\example-plugin.jar

重置插件目录（推荐）

直接删除整个插件目录：

C:\Users\Root\AppData\Roaming\skylot\jadx\config\plugins\

👉 Jadx 下次启动会自动重建

[skylot]

Looks like issue occurs during plugin install or update, but attached stacktrace shows only error during plugin loading, so it is hard to guess what cause original issue.

Current workaround: edit plugins/plugins.json in jadx config directory, full path (set your user name instead <User>):

Windows:  C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\skylot\jadx\config\plugins\plugins.json
Linux: ~/.config/jadx/plugins/plugins.json
MacOs: /Users/<User>/Library/Application Support/io.github.skylot.jadx/plugins/plugins.json

and remove faulty plugin entry from installed array.
Or just remove plugins.json file completely and reinstall plugins manually.
