Windows 2003 server

I just want a Yes or No answer. Will Java run Bukkit on a Windows 2003 server? And can Java run on Windows 2003 server? Reply ASAP!

 

Windows:
Windows 8 (Desktop)
Windows 7
Windows Vista SP2
Windows XP SP3 (32-bit); Windows XP SP2 (64-bit)
Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2012 (64-bit)
RAM: 128 MB; 64 MB for Windows XP (32-bit)
Disk space: 124 MB
Browsers: Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.6 and above, Chrome

 

So according to this list Server 2003 isn't an option? Because I need a firm yes or no. My dad and I are trying to build a server machine that can run Bukkit through Java.

 

Why wouldn't it? Any OS that has Java should run Minecraft.

Yes, Windows 2003 will run Craftbukkit fine. If you have any issues you can PM me and I can help.

I will keep you in mind when I go to set it up! Thank you.

 

Thats for java 7,
from the install instructions for java 6:
Platform(s): Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows 2008 Server
Java version(s): 6.0, 7.0

So not sure if java 7 will work.
Just try and see?

 

It should run fine, just make sure you have a fast enough upload and download speed, and RAM.

I would reccomend using a Linux distro like Ubuntu Server or CentOS, as they have light memory usage, doesn't hog resources as much as Windows.

 

Thanks. I'll let my dad know about that.

Does anyone else have any other suggestions about Java and Server 2003 that they would like to share with me?

A Linux Distro, they are free and not as outdated as windows 2003. I personally use Ubuntu Server.

 

Thank you guys for all your fantastic help and information! This is why i love the Bukkit community! We can sit around and talk about servers all day!

 

Like others have said, you should go for Linux. I use Ubuntu myself.
