Oui, ce problème est décrit sur le wiki :
When the 1.7.2 server executable (exe) became public, most (if not all) users encountered the same problem: there was nothing in the log section of the server, as well as the server not generating all of the necessary files! Most users never knew that the .jar version of the server could be used, along with a simple batch file, to fix this problem! User:5chris100 was nice enough to write this guide for Minecrafters who encounter this problem!

Désolé il n'y a rien de décrit pour les serveurs à partir de la 1.7.2 sur le wiki français.
