With bukkit there are plugins that change the world generation to make the world flat, for example: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/wgen-flatlands-v0-1-makes-a-flat-world-860.20888/ http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/wgen-hugetractsofland-0-1-generate-a-flat-world-using-any-block-1060.28662/
You can also search http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/?category=world-generators for different types of world generators.
Note: I have not tried either of them.

I would have to say that you just go into the server.properties file and edit it to be super-flat instead of default .
The drawback to that is that you will not be able to go underground since it is only 3 blocks away from the 1 layer of bedrock.

What do you mean empty?
They're all empty.
If you mean flat or featureless, all you can do, in the unlikely event of finding a seed that would create a world like that, is create one as normal, play it, fly around for a good while in all directions to get chunks generated, then use MCEdit to flatten it.
But new chunks will always be generated as normal.

You can use MCEdit to create a world and create chunks in it that are empty except for a layer of bedrock.

Make a superflat world out of air blocks.
Make sure you have villages on, and you have an (almost) emtpy world.

You know, I was wondering the exact same thing.
I figured out if you make superflat just one layer of tnt then ignite it, it will blow up everything.
BUT be sure you put a piece ofbedrock down first.
Also the server may crash or get really laggy.
But you can also use World Edit to clear out the world.

make a superflat world with only one layer of sand.
The moment you put a block down, the sand will fall into the void leaving just the block you placed.

Set generator-settings=1;0;1 and level-type=FLAT and gamemode=1 in the server.properties .
Note this would will have no blocks at all.
As you are in creative mode fly to y: 0
(press F3 to see coords).
Note: You will start dropping quickly so be ready.
Install the WorldEdit plugin from bukkit plugins and type //pos1 then move a little and type //pos2 and //set stone or whatever block you want.
In later versions, you could use /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:stone and not have to install WorldEdit.

Judging from the DemonicMushy's comment on his question, I think he means a map with no blocks at all.
Try looking for maps such as this one and importing them into multiplayer.
3000x3000 blocks of void.
Of course, if you meant a map that isn't void, use the superflat world option when creating a singleplayer world and import it to multiplayer to build together.

My friends and I want to create an adventure map, so I want to have a empty Minecraft Craftbukkit server map to start with, so there will be nothing other than the things I want to put into the map. How can I achieve this?
How do I create an empty minecraft world?

Install the WorldEdit plugin to change the world generation to make it flat. You can also used MCEdit to create a world and create chunks of it that are empty. Multiple in-game techniques and modding options could serve as a solution.
There is a variety of ways using plugins or editors to create an empty world. It is suggested that air or sand blocks could be used in order to make an empty world.
