Running a Minecraft Server

Using Parallels with a Windows 7 appliance.  It was necessary to download a minecraft_server.exe or the jar equivalent from the minecraft.net site.  Once launched, you could connect to it via localhost on the appliance, since the game was running on the same place and then other machines could connect to it.  It was also necessary to have the appliance bridge the network adapter too.
