I downloaded the server 1.7.2 jar from the minecraft.net site, tried to fire it up, and got the following:
$ java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraft_server.jar nogui
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError: (class: net/minecraft/server/MinecraftServer, method: v signature: ()V) Can only throw Throwable objects(The file was named minecraft_server.1.7.2.jar when I downloaded it; I tried renaming it; creating a symlink to it, etc. – it doesn't seem to affect the result; also, I tried reinstalling Java, but that didn't change anything, either.)
One other tidbit: when I try to start the client, I get the conjugate error,
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError: (class: ban, method: f signature: ()V) catch_type not a subclass of Throwable at net.minecraft.client.main.Main.main(SourceFile:72)I tried the 1.6.4 server jar, and it hits this problem:

Weird, how can you get it from that site? I checked it with the site downforeveryoneorjustme.com and it said that site was down.
I just tried it, and I could download the 1.7.2 jar (and downforeveryoneorjustme.com tells me that it's up, too 😉 ).
Also, I was able to run the launcher without getting all the 503 errors which was nailing it over the weekend which is an improvement.
However, I'm still getting the Java exceptions when I try to launch either version of the server or the 1.7.2 client. 😞

I just pulled down the 1.6.4 jar (from https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.6.4/minecraft_server.1.6.4.jar), and it doesn't hit this problem.
