A bind exception for a network application tells us that there is something already listening on that port. Find out what TCP port the application is trying to bind to, then do a \"netstat -an\" and look for that port. If it shows up, some other program is listening to that port and needs to be killed before your java program will bind to it. If the port shows a TIME_WAIT or FIN_WAIT or something like that, and there are none listed as LISTENING or ESTABLISHED, then you must wait for the kernel to tear down the port before your java program will run.
