    your start.txt is named improperly, the param flags for starting java is a little funky, and you're running bukkit 1.1, if you're trying to connect with the latest version of MineCraft client, that is version 1.2. They are incompatible.

    http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/

    This page shows bukkit versions. If it has a 1.2.# context, it will work with the minecraft client (Beta recommended for your situation).

    Another alternative is to use spout to connect to your server.

    Good luck!

    on a mac, press command+space and type in terminal. press enter. A little white box will pop up.
    type top
    on this list you'll likely see a java process running. Note the PID to the left of the java process.
    press Q to return to prompt
    Type in kill ####
    replace ### with the PID you found on top

    This will flush out the hanging java process.
    If it is not wanting to cooperate, you can type kill -9 #####
    But I don't recommend doing that. Instead, I would simply restart your mac.

    Good luck!

    PMC/Discussion I need portforwarding help!

    This isn't enough information to assist.. To give you a brief rundown on how this works:

    There is normally a little box that your computer connects to that allows other computers to share your internet access. This is called a router. The router has a way to forward requests from the internet to a specific computer it is sharing connection to via a method called Port Forwarding. For Minecraft servers to work, you have to forward port 25565.
    to set up a router, you need to know what IP address the router is using. Normally the IP address on residential routers maintain a standard of using .1 as it's last number sequence. A common IP address for routers is 192.168.1.1, or 192.168.0.1
    If you access this page: http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 and it asks you for a user/password, you likely found the login screen for your router to set up Port Forwarding.

    Read the upper part of the login screen to get your router name/model. Google search that model name and append to the end "Default password", if you haven't set the password for it. Log in with that, and fumble your way around until you find an area talking about port forwarding. Set those ports to 25565, and the LAN IP address to your computer's IP address. (Google "How do I find my LAN IP address" for more details).

    You can test if this is all correct by using a port scanning tool such as http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/

    Good luck!

    Oh, if Linux: depends on Distro. I'd assume ubuntu since it's most popular for someone who wouldn't know how to config route, press the Applications button on the top left if Unity is enabled, and go to Applications, and find Terminal. type in "ifconfig" just like on mac and get the IP address. Profit.

    Starting Port: 25565
    Ending Port: 25565
    Protocol: Should drop down to Both
    LAN IP Address: This will depend on your OS.. Get on your server,
    if Mac: press command key + spacebar, and type in "terminal", then press enter when Terminal comes up. When it does, type 'ifconfig' in the terminal window. You'll see an IP address, normally 192.168.#.#, take this number and place it in LAN IP address

    If Windows: Hold Windows Key down + R , and in the Run Command window type in "cmd" without quotes. Next, type ipconfig, you'll see an IP address in the sequence similar to 192.168.#.#, put that in LAN IP address.

    You can ignore the report port/IP information. Press Apply.

    If you're not sure it's still working, http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/
    run this and put in 25565, you'll see if there is something else blocking your minecraft port.

    Good luck!
