AutoPortForward
I would like to thank the makers of Cling for their java UPNP library. AutoPortForward uses cling
Introduction: AutoPortForward automaticlly forwards the port that is specified in the server.properties. The gateway device must support UPNP.
How this plugin works: AutoPortForward discovers gateway devices (ex: routers) and attempts to forward the port specified on a one of the devices. AutoPortForward will remove the port forward on disable, and add it again on enable. This is possible by sending a UPNP TCP request to forward a port to the gateway device, if it has UPNP, it will accept this request and forward the port specified in the server.properties. It also tells you your external ip.
"But that's not possible, you NEED to port forward": As I stated above, this is very possible. See here It discovers gateway devices (routers, bridges, modems) and sends a UPNP TCP request to forward the port specified in the server.properties to the gateway device.
What versions of CraftBukkit / Bukkit are supported: AutoPortForward will work with almost if not all versions of CraftBukkit and Bukkit, as long as the onEnable and onDisable are the same.
Configuration: AutoPortForward uses the port in the server.properties (server-port) - The default is 25565.
WARNING: AutoPortForward will remove port mappings that use TCP on the port the server will be running off of, so if you have a web server running on port 80, and a minecraft server on port 80 (Which you shouldn't do) it will delete the web server port mapping and add the minecraft server.

It is rare, but my intrests in minecraft had come back randomly so I figured why not fix it up/
It's not been updated for over 1 year and suddenly you update it... That's rare. Anyway, nice plugin. Very useful as I have some issues with internet where even if it looks like it's portforwarded people can't connect, but this plugin seems to fix it. Very nice!

The 1.6.2 release is waiting for approval
Update to 1.6.2 waiting for approval
Please make a 1.6.2 AutoPortFoward plugin! I can't seem to get into the AdminPanel because it seems to have that someone has changed the username and password! I can only play with my friends if I use LogMeIn Hamachi. I'm sure they don't have permission to download these things and it must be annoying for them to download it. I'd probably couldn't wait in a month but my final time I would really like would be January 1st.
@jtpetch
