No the previous answer is wrong. It's not about binding, it's about making a connection out on port 80. Look at the Java security manager. You need to either disable it (the nuclear option), or allow the app to resolve and make connections to that IP on port 80 explicitly.
You need to be a privileged user (root) to open sockets at ports les than 1024. So sudo to root then run again OR better idea bind to a port > 1024 like 8080 or something.
And WTF is Jave?
