    How do I run a bukkit server to test a plugin I've made?

    I tried downloading the latest bukkit dev = 1.6.1 craftbukkit.jar and using the:

    "java -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true
    PAUSE"
    for Windows in a "run.bat" file.

    Can anyone please tell me how to run a bukkit server EASILY to TEST a plugin I have made?
    Step by step would be nice!
    Thanks! :)

    Well, I have the Recommended build from Bukkit.org which is "craftbukkit-1.5.2-R1.0" and I just downloaded another one and made a new "run_server.bat" file. I clicked the run.bat file, and in the cmd or the in the black screen that pops up it says "Unable to access jarfile craftbukkit.jar and Press any key to continue" and once I press a key, the screen just disappears!
    The Craftbukkit.jar file and the run.bat file are in the same folder as well! I still don't know what is wrong and have searched through 3 websites and still nothing helps!

    Any clue what is wrong?

    "Unabe to access jarfile craftbukkit.jar" means it's unable to access craftbukkit.jar. This is most likely because the name isn't the same, the name of the .jar has to be the EXACT (case-sensitive) same as the name written in the .bat file. It could also be because your permissions aren't setup properly. I don't personally use windows, so I don't know how permissions work there, but right-click the .jar and see if there's any option to make it executable or runnable.
