    Hey Guys,

    It's been a while since I last used bukkit to run a server (beta 1.5) and I may just be missing some change that's been made.

    I checked the Wiki on setting up a server and I've got all the correct.

    What happens is, when I launch the Bukkit server, I don't get a Console window showing all the usual Bukkit log stuff. But all the files generate in the Server's folder on my PC, and I can connect to the server.

    It's like the server is running in a hidden mode. Which is a pain as I can't send a /stop command to the console to tell it to stop. instead having to kill the javaw process. Also I can't monitor it for any errors that may appear during startup or as it runs.

    I am using Windows 7 Pro 64bit, I have the latest 64 bit Java 6
    I can run a vanilla server fine, GUI appears as normal
    I downloaded the server .jar's just minutes ago from the links given in the "bukkit CI is having issues" thread

    Any help is appreciated

    JWhy

    You dont just doubleclick the .jar, but use a start.bat?

    Yea I use a batch file to launch it. The bat opens a console window and it just stays empty, also closing that window doesnt stop the server

    bat file contains:
    Code:
    @echo off
    "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -Xincgc -jar craftbukkit-1.0.1-R1.jar

    Java re-install wont fix it, i'm not totally fail.

    also the Echo off doesn't help, I just see it call the jar file, then nothing. The Server Setup FAQ tells you to put it there anyway...

    ill try that gui mod now thanks Zero

    GUI Mod works fine thanks again, I like a good GUI anyway, so cheers for that Zero. +rep for you if i can

    EDIT:

    Found the issue, you need to use the java.exe not javaw.exe
    javaw.exe expects a gui element
