How to create a (private) Minecraft server?

Solution

First download the package provided by Minecraft:
http://www.minecraft.net/minecraft-server.zip
Unzip the file and then launch "Start-server.bat"
If you have this error
- "Java' is not recognized as ..."
- Open Start-server.bat with notepad
- Right click: Open with notepad for example.
- You get this:

@echo off   
Java -Xms512M -Xmx512M -cp minecraft-server.jar com.mojang.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer   
pause

Replace Java by the exact path to access a java.exe
- Example:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java" -Xms512M -Xmx512M -cp minecraft-server.jar com.mojang.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer   
pause

Launch Start-server and if you get this message:

>Setting up!   
>Loading Level

.
Your server is launched!
A link will be generated in "External_url.txt" , share it with your friends.

Note that: If the other users can't connect to your server, you need to:

Enable the TCP and UDP port 25565 for the Minecraft server.
Enable Port forwarding (for port 25565) in your router/modem settings.
