Moving From Vanilla Server to Bukkit

Question

So I have a server running the standard, unmodified Vanilla server on a Linux box. After talking to the people on the server we have decided that moving to a Bukkit Server would be better because of the awesome plugins. However it seems that Minecraft generates nether and "overworld" files differently than Bukkit. Bukkit generates a world and a world_nether folders. I have read the forum post and copying the Vanilla's world folder to world and world_nether seems to work but I feel like this a a bit hackish and might cause problems in the future. Has anyone successively done this?

Answer

Yes, I did the same thing as you a few weeks ago, the only problem I encountered was that Bukkit would crash because of the nether for some reason, and that was fixed by disabling the nether. I'm not sure what you could do if you wanted the nether to work.
