I am sorta new at this, and i currently do not know how to compile the source for this. i tried javac *.java but that really didnt work. If anyone is kind enough to help me out here, i would appreciate it
http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/bukkit-jar-compiled-from-source-code.30/ pre-compiled and ready to go.
i see, but how exactly am i suppose to use it? running it in console says no manifest and running it normally nothing happens. Right now i am running craftbukkit from hudson but i dont see a point in just bukkit?
Bukkit is just the backbone library for the server mod. Craftbukkit is going to be what you want, a server mod that implements Bukkit. lukegb did a build at the following link: http://hudson.lukegb.com/job/Craftbukkit/lastBuild/
The download link is for plugin development only, there isn't any acual working bukkit server mod yet, only custom builds such as craftbukkit. With any luck, there will be a working bukkit by the end of the week. Fingers crossed!
