It's just so hard making Minecraft Servers if your modem isn't the best in the world and you're not a big fan of hamachi. I was thinking how awesome it would be if creating a Multiplayer Server could be as simple as creating a Singleplayer world! All you could do is click: 'Create New Server' and it would give you a personal code (Not an IP) in which another player can use to join the server.
Personally, I keep a folder named "template" with a clean and up to date version of the miencraft server jar, the craft buckit jar, my default server properties file, plugins folder, and a run.bat that I made to increase the RAM heap of the server.
Then when you want to create a new server, copy/paste the template folder, rename it, change the motd in the server properties (and w/e else you'd like), and just hit run.bat ... Pretty simple imo.
The only other thing I could think of to make it easier would be a simple gui to set options in the properties file and run the .bat file for you. *shrug* Not sure what you're looking for.
.Another easy way, if you're just looking for the one button click version is to install "bukkitGUI" <dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/bukkitgui/>
Literally, just start the program, hit "start" server and you're set, plus it's got a super easy plugin manager and permissions logsAs for port forwarding....not really that hard if you look into it. There's tons of programs out there that can do it for you, if you don't wanna take the extra 10 minutes to do it yourself
