bmanrules
Hey guys. Recently I've been attempting to make a minecraft Bukkit server on Windows 8.1. I have a 64 bit operating system with Java 7. This is the code I am putting into my batch file:
@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar
PAUSE
And this is my response:
C:\Users\Harrison\Desktop\Bukkit Server>java -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o t
rue
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Users\Harrison\Desktop\Bukkit Server>PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .
And yes, I have selected the entire output and pasted it into the thread, so it's 100% legit. No screenies required. Can anyone help? Does anyone know a solution? Pls reply asap. Just remember, windows 8.1, java 7 and 64 bit operating system.

This is how you can fix this: WARNING DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
1. open up a command prompt (DOS)
2. check that inside the jre folder theres a folder named bin
3. if there is type this in the command prompt:
setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Java\jre7\bin"
Double check that the path above is correct, and the folder naming(might need spaces in program files)!!!
and DO NOT REMOVE THE QUOTES

or:
Select Start -> Computer -> System Properties -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables -> System variables -> PATH.
Prepend C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_27\bin;to the beginning of the PATH variable.
your version of the jdk may be different. If it is, change it to the name you have
don’t forget that semi-colon(;) at the end (this is the separator character used between all the URLs in the path
Click OK three times.

you do not have Java set to your environment paths.
and you are not executing your batch file, rendering it pointless.

Linux all the way xD

^ I even use linux for my desktop now

This means Java is not added in the PATH system variable I can tell you what to do but thats editing the core of the system 1 wrong move and its bye bye windows
oh and btw if you are thinking of setting up a permanent server on win 8.1 youre about to do a terrible mistake.

Editing Enviromental Values isn't editing the core of the system and can't really harm Windows. There is nothing wrong with setting up a server on Windows 8.1, as the OS itself is pretty easy on ram usage. Sure, Windows 8.1 server edition is probably better, but it won't matter too much on a Minecraft server. @The Linux comments the Linux Desktop OS you're using isn't much better than Windows 8.1. To run a server a version of Linux suited for servers would be smarter

If you screw up the PATH variable the DOS wont be able to find all the executtables for the commands run.

easiest workaround will be renaming your bukkit as minecraft_server. and just using
the file path provided for vanilla server on minecraft.net. it always works

Had this problem and uninstalling java and reinstalling it works great I'm on windows 8.1 too if you want you can have my server.bat config but I use java -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true
PAUSE

Update: Just reinstalled java, but to no avail. I've reinstalled, used the same code, and I also used java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true but it still didn't work...
Any suggestions?

try putting just this into your WHATEVER.bat;
java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true
java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Try to re-install lava? And check java.com for more info about this problem.

Do you have JDK/Java added to your PATH?
1
Dunno lol. Could you check for me and re-write the code so it would potentially work?
1
None of the above comments will work You need to add Java to your enviromental PATH on your PC. I can't check for you because only you can, since I don't have access to your PC (Don't be lazy ). Code is fine though.

I have an actual folder called Java in path and it actually exists. I just don't understand why windows won't find it.
C: Drive (Local Disc) >>> Program Files (x86) >>> Java >>> jre7
Then it has a bin folder and a lib folder... Have I done sommet wrong?

PATH and having a folder on your harddrive are two different things.
