Forge stuck on "searching 'mods' folder for mods"

[Lycanus Darkbinder]

Minecraft: 1.5.1 (SSP)

Forge: 7.7.1.621 and 7.7.1.624

 

The loading process stops at the following message:

 

"Searching D:\Minecraft\1.5.1\.minecraft\mods for mods"

 

Things to note:

 

1. I am running the same launcher BAT file I used for 1.4.7 without issue

2. I am using the same mods I used in 1.4.7 (only those updated to 1.5.1)

3. If I remove all mods from the 'mods' folder, the server starts normally

 

I don't know what exactly is causing Forge to hang because the log file shows it is identifying the mods properly:

Finally, here is the complete list of mods. Again, keep in mind that these all worked with Forge and MC 1.4.7 and have been updated by their authors to 1.5.1:

Ok so I figured out through trial and error that these mods are broken:

 

ArmorStand.zip

Fancy Fences (3-15) v.3.1.zip

Floodgate.zip

Shelf.zip

[1.5.1]CustomRecipes_v3.9.1.zip

 

Even though the authors have updated them, they error with "NoClassDefFoundError". That said, shouldn't Forge just exit rather than hang on the loading screen?

U need to make one if it isn't there.It solves my problem. 

[mrDLSable]

I would like to point out that I am having the same problem when using the latest version of forge in eclipse with and empty mod (except for the @mod data).

 

Here is a pastebin of my FML log: http://pastebin.com/6A7Fyzqz

I hope there is a way around this, because I was hoping to have another look into modding tonight, but I might have to stop early by the look ok things

 

EDIT: I have found the error in my code. I hadn't added a pre-init class yet and adding one fixed the problem. Though it is unlikely that the other mods don't have a pre-init method, there could be something wrong with it that is causing the problem. Please not that I am not sure, since my knowledge of modding is basically 0.01
