Hello, I'm trying to create a server for my girlfriend and I to play on. I created one about two months ago and ran into this exact problem. I thought all I did was reinstall Java, but apparently that was not it because I just reinstalled Jre7 and I still get this error. Here is my run.bat: java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true PAUSE And here is the error that the console is giving me: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.io.Reader.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.io.InputStreamReader.<init>(Unknown Source) at net.minecraft.server.AchievementMap.<init>(SourceFile:15) at net.minecraft.server.AchievementMap.<clinit>(SourceFile:9) at net.minecraft.server.Statistic.g(SourceFile:37) at net.minecraft.server.CounterStatistic.g(SourceFile:15) at net.minecraft.server.StatisticList.<clinit>(SourceFile:27) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.main(MinecraftServer.java:601) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.Main.main(Main.java:152) java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at net.minecraft.server.LocaleI18n.<clinit>(SourceFile:4) at net.minecraft.server.Item.s(SourceFile:459) at net.minecraft.server.StatisticList.a(SourceFile:138) at net.minecraft.server.StatisticList.c(SourceFile:85) at net.minecraft.server.Item.<clinit>(SourceFile:263) at net.minecraft.server.Block.<clinit>(Block.java:639) at net.minecraft.server.StatisticList.a(SourceFile:121) at net.minecraft.server.StatisticList.<clinit>(SourceFile:55) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.main(MinecraftServer.java:601) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.Main.main(Main.java:152) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.io.Reader.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.io.InputStreamReader.<init>(Unknown Source) at net.minecraft.server.LocaleLanguage.e(SourceFile:30) at net.minecraft.server.LocaleLanguage.<init>(SourceFile:17) at net.minecraft.server.LocaleLanguage.<clinit>(SourceFile:8) ... 10 more Press any key to continue . . . EDIT: Oh and by the way, this is a fresh server that has never been created. All I have in my server folder is the craftbukkit jar file labeled "craftbukkit" and the run.bat file.
Nope, no plugins at all. At least not in this folder. I do on other servers but they are old and in their own separate folders. EDIT: Also, I had several old versions of Java that I just removed, thinking that might of been causing a conflict, but it's still not working. Java SE Runtime Environment 7u9 X64 is what I currently have installed. I went into the registry and completely removed everything Java, then reinstalled the 64 bit version of JRE7. SOLVED: Apparently exclamation marks (or any odd characters) anywhere in the pathway will cause this error. The server folder on my desktop was named "NEW Minecraft Server!" Changed to "NEW Minecraft Server", and it works great, haha. Hopefully this may help someone else. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
THANK. YOU. SO. MUCH. THAT WAS SUCH A STUPID ERROR AND I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT >_>
