Question

I am having issues with this code:
For some reason, it always fails to match the code.

for (int i = 0; i < pluginList.size(); i++) {
    System.out.println("");
    String findMe = "plugins".concat(FILE_SEPARATOR).concat(pluginList.get(i));

    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("("+name.getPath()+")(.*)");
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(findMe);

    // Check if the current plugin matches the string.
    if (matcher.find()) {
        return !pluginListMode;
    }
}

All you really need is

return ("plugins"+FILE_SEPARATOR+pluginName).indexOf(name.getPath()) != -1;

But your code also makes no sense due to the fact that there’s no way for that for-loop to enter a second iteration — it returns unconditionally. So more probably you need something like this:

for (String pluginName : pluginList)
  if (("plugins"+FILE_SEPARATOR+pluginName).indexOf(name.getPath()) != -1)
    return false;
return true;
