Lightning Strike Event Handling

I'm trying to figure out how to get lightning to strike whenever I throw an egg. My code isn't giving me any errors however the console is. The message still pops up but the lightning does not.

package me.sanfrinsisco;

import org.bukkit.entity.EntityType;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerEggThrowEvent;
import net.md_5.bungee.api.ChatColor;

public class PlayerListener implements Listener {

    public PlayerListener(EventHandling plugin) {
        plugin.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, plugin);
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void onPickup(PlayerEggThrowEvent e) {
        Player player = e.getPlayer();

        player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_BLUE + "You have summoned lightning");

        e.setHatchingType(EntityType.LIGHTNING);
        e.setNumHatches((byte) 1);
        e.setHatching(true);
    }
}

Here is the error I'm getting in my console
