Does it work with CraftBukkit? Also, nice work. It looks really nice. What language is it written in?
Yes it should work with craftbukkit just rename the craftbukkit jar to minecraft_server.jar then import it from the new instance screen, I wrote it in vb.net / c#
Also thanks
EDIT: this is changed it will now work with any Jar.
Can you make it mac compatible? Also please add a bukkit server function!
As I've said to JanitorialMilk it should work with bukkit just rename the bukkit jar to minecraft_server.jar then import from the new instance screen (Information Added to OP). As for mac support i don't have one to compile with however it might work if run under mono another thing that might enable it to work is WINE. please report back results if it does or doesn't work
Update: OP was messed up so i had that fixed also added a bug report thing to the settings. so if you find ANY bugs please report them to me using that tool.
Thanks for this simple yet useful tool! There is one problem where the server doesn't stop completely. I have to end java.exe and the launcher itself from the taskmanager.

Sorry this happens for you but thatnks for letting me know!, what does the server console say when you click stop ?
I'm sure you're aware, but there is a problem with the new way Minecraft handle profiles, and because the Launcher is creating ops.txt whitelist.txt and banned.txt, the server won't start.
Sorry I couldn't send the bug report using the Launcher but I got an error while trying to do so.
Yeah sorry i broke the bug reporter and just haven't had the time to fix it, the problem with the new server not starting is you have to open the instance folder and open the elua.txt file to accept then it will work, ill make this automatic next time i have enough time to add it to the launcher
Yes it should work with craftbukkit just rename the craftbukkit jar to minecraft_server.jar then import it from the new instance screen, I wrote it in vb.net / c#
Also thanks
