How do I resolve the "java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind" error?


If you know what port the process is running you can type: lsof -i:<port>.

For instance, lsof -i:8080, to list the process (pid) running on port 8080.

Then kill the process with kill <pid>


Yes you have another process bound to the same port.

TCPView (Windows only) from Windows Sysinternals is my favorite app whenever I have a JVM_BIND error. It shows which processes are listening on which port. It also provides a convenient context menu to either kill the process or close the connection that is getting in the way.


In windows

netstat -ano

will list all the protocols, ports and processes listening .Use

taskkill -pid "proces to kill" /f

to kill the process listening to the port.e.g

 taskkill -pid 431 /f
