Hopefully this blog will help you fellow minecraftians out there in the process of setting up a bukkit server for your mac!

Installation
Open Terminal (Found in Application/Utilities) and paste:
[size=small]cd ~/Desktop
mkdir "Bukkit Server"
cd ~/Desktop/Bukkit Server
curl -O http://ci.bukkit.org/job/dev-CraftBukkit/promotion/latest/Recommended/artifact/target/craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
mv craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar CraftBukkit.jar
echo "cd ~/Desktop/Bukkit Server
java -Xincgc -Xmx[RAM]M -jar CraftBukkit.jar" >LaunchServer.command
chmod +x LaunchServer.command
echo "Open LaunchServer.command with TextEdit, and replace [RAM] with:
512 or 1024 or 1536 or 2560 or 3072 or 5120
That is the ram amount the server will have.
512=512MB; 1024=1GB; 1536=1.5GB; 2560=2.5GB; 3072=3GB; 5120=5GB
It is good to update your server at least once per week." >README.txt
open -a TextEdit LaunchServer.command
[/size]

Textedit should open a document called "LaunchServer.command". Find [RAM] and replace it with:
512 or 1024 or 1536 or 2560 or 3072 or 5120

That is the ram amount the server will have.
512=512MB; 1024=1GB; 1536=1.5GB; 2560=2.5GB; 3072=3GB; 5120=5GB


The server is installed on your Desktop, in "Bukkit Server". To start it double click "LaunchServer.command".

YAY! :) Thanks for help! It works perfectly! So happy! I've been trying to do a server for sooooooo long! Also my friend tells me that i can customize the server how i want to, like a mod. If this is true could you tell me how to do it or make a blog about it or you could even give me a link.
