I have a problem that I can not set up my application in debug mode with IntelliJ IDE, but run mode is OK.
My OS is Windows 7, IDE is IntelliJ IDEA, web container is Tomcat 6. I have tried for a long time, changed the HTTP port and the JMX port, but it did not work.
When I set up the app in debug mode with IntelliJ, it failed and the event log is:
16:05:35 Error running tomcat: Unable to open debugger port : java.net.BindException "Address already in use: JVM_Bind".
I had same issue in windows 7 and IntellijIdea 14. I killed the java processes by going CTRL+ALT+ESc, find java and kill it. Now Re-Run, the application again it should be fine.. You can also do it with command line or shell(linux), but I found this easier for myself
