Cannot find a free socket for the debugger in eclipse - java

when i try to debug the java programe , it says "Cannot find a free socket for the debugger in eclipse".Could you explain how to resolve the error ?

I have found the solution (at least in my case).
Eclipse was installed on a company share drive once I moved it to my local C drive everything worked fine.

As in this thread, you might want to explicitly mention the path of the JVM you are using to execute eclipse.
See this eclipse.ini as an example.
bug 12132 mentioned incorrect socks proxy information.
bug 27654 refered to a configuration problem (firewall, antivirus?)
The usual checks (some are Windows specifics) are:
switch off the vista firewall (it wasn't activated, to be precise)
add a firewall rule for java.exe/javaw.exe/eclipse.exe and reactivated it (just to be sure it didn't interfere although it was deactivated)
deactivated my antivirus tool (avira antivir)
ran eclipse as administrator
disabled UAC
activated/deactivated wired and wireless network interfaces
changed priorities of the network interfaces
used different jvms (1.6 and 1.7)
created an entirely new workspace

I encountered this error message when migrating to a virtual Win10 machine (Eclipse 2019-09) as of November 2019.
My solution was as follows:
First, like Dan above, make sure you do not start eclipse.exe from a network drive, but from C:...\eclipse-dir.
After I did this, Windows Defender Firewall came up with a dialogue informing me that it had 'blocked some features of this app' (eclipse.exe). After I pressed the 'Allow access'-Button, I was able to debug as I had been used to.
It appears that you have to add eclipse.exe to the applications that can communicate through Windows Defender Firewall. If you need to do this manually, go to Control Panel -> System and Security -> Windows Defender Firewall and choose Allowed apps. Press 'Change settings' and 'Allow another app...' to navigate to your eclipse.exe using the file picker dialogue.

Unable to see networked drive on Windows 10 PC using Java Open Dialog in IDE but see it outside of IDE

Why am I unable to see networked drive on Windows 10 PC with Java Open Dialog. I have noticed a problem when running my Java application from IDE, the Open Dialog does not show my NAS (NetGear ReadyDuo mounted on Z:drive). Yet when I run the application outside of the IDE on the same machine using the same JVM it is okay.
In both cases I'm using Java 1.8.0_72 25.72-b15 64bit on Windows 10 10.0 amd64. I'm sure I didn't used to have this issue but don't know when it started occurring. Its not such a big issue for me if it doesn't show in the IDE because of the IDE, but I'm concerned the IDE may be irrelevant and that potential customers are also seeing this behaviour.
Screenshots below show what I see in the two circumstances
I have encountered this behaviour in other softwares, where the cause was, that the drive was not mapped persistent.
What i did to solve it:
Map your Network Drive with the Windows Explorer GUI and mark "always connect".
or in cmd.exe (please try above 1st!):
net use z: \nas\media /user:usr pass /persistent:yes
Kind regards.
Its not possible for me to comment, so I have to ask here.
Did you tried to run your IDE with Administrator Rights? Maybe some minor 'problems' with UAC (User Account Control).
Solved issue, it seems if you mount a network drive using Windows Explorer, but then run the IDE with administrator privileges then you do not have permission to access the drive because now seen as separate user admin (even though I only have a single user) that wasn't given permission.
The way round is write create batch file to mount the network drive
i.e
net use z: \\nas\media /persistent:yes
and then right click on the batch file and select Run as Administrator
Don't know if there is an easier way.

Cannot get Java Applets to work in any browser

We are trying to download something from GE that uses Java to download when logging into the site. This is a windows 7 Professional PC. I have other computers that are able to do this successfully. Here is my order of operations:
Log into the site and select the file I want to download
Click download
It takes me to the page that says it will start in a few seconds but nothing happens. It is supposed to have a box that asks for Java to run.
I have reinstalled Java fresh and still nothing. Tried with multiple user accounts. Added the site to the list of exceptions in the firewalls and Java configuration. I have tried an earlier version of Java. This happens in Mozilla, Chrome and IE. I have made sure that the Java plugin shows up and is enabled. I just cant think of what I am missing. And since we are a contractor GE is not going to help us. Can anyone here think of anything?
Are you sure you have the Java plugin enabled? e.g. in Firefox, go to Settings, Plugins, and change Java Platform SE8 'Next Generation Java Plugin' to 'always activate'?
This sounds similar to the issues I had with Cisco WebVPN, Java-style. Once you have Java installed correctly and set as a plugin for any of the browsers you would like to use, see below.
Before you even start looking at browsers - if you think it is already set up correctly
Look at your Anti-Virus programs or anything else that could prevent it from working. McAfee Host Intrusion Protection is known to cause many Java programs to fail. Kapersky had issues, a while back, with Java on Windows (Java Applets not loading in Windows 8 ).
You must have a 64-bit browser to use 64-bit Java (also mentioned in the Chrome link below).
See below for any specific things that can be modified in the browser.
Chrome 43 is the more complicated browser to set up. They have a dedicated page with instructions.
How do I use Java with the Google Chrome browser?
Firefox 38 will prompt you.
In Internet Explorer 11, it's under Internet Options->Security. I recommend adding the hostname the applet is on as a Trusted Site (Select Trusted Sites and click the Sites button, then add the first part of the url). Click the Custom level button and make sure that Scripting of Java applets is not disabled.
If you still have problems with the applet:
Verify your Java version will work with the applet you are accessing
Verify the plugin is enabled for the browser through the Java Control Panel, which is available in Windows Control Panel, or on Mac/Linux, execute it from the JDK directory ($JAVA_HOME/ControlPanel ).
I ended up fixing the issue. I had to allow their UK site on the list for Java and enable the SSL 2.0 for HTTP in Java config as well

Java ME SDK 3.2 (and 3.3, 3.0 as well) just won't start

When i try to launch it any way, Java ME just freezes. To be more specific, javaw.exe called by device-manager.exe seems to go into infinite loop, since not a single exception or error message is passed. Icon in tray appears, but its menu, instead of devices list, shows only one entry: Exit, which incidentally doesn't work. I can only shutdown it through task manager. And since device-manager is required for emulator, i can't work with it at all.
I tried versions 3.0,3.2,3.3 of Java ME SDK and this problem persists in each one. OS: Windows 7. JDK: 7u25.
I've tried each and every advice i found on the Internet and still can't get it working. Device-manager log shows that the problem starts upon calling "rmiRegistryPortFile".
[2013-07-02 19:20:53.070] DEBUG - strap.BasicObjectConfiguration - Calling create on rmiRegistryPortFile
That's always the last entry in the log.
There was only one way i've managed to get it working - by installing and running it under Windows Virtual PC. Curious thing is, under VM it's working fine in the same very OS (freshly installed Windows 7). But unfortunately that didn't really give much on the cause of the bug, and that's not a solution :( I have to somehow get it working without VM.
I tried reinstalling Windows, that didn't help. Looked through javaw I/O in Process Monitor and compared it with working one. It looks like one of the application threads suddenly shuts down after reading file "rt.jar" (when loading "rmiRegistryPortFile" i guess?), whereas working javaw writes to log-file immediately after that. Windows logs got nothing on the subject: no permission issues, no errors or warnings at the time.
Tried modifying PATH variable to the dir with rmiregistry.exe, did not help. Network sockets are available. Changed DEP settings, same.
Could anyone please help? I've spent days on this bug already.
It's definitely a permission problem. Try to look if any folder related to Java is "READ ONLY".
If you get this error message when trying to run midlets through the built-in emulator of the JavaME SDK 3.0, try disabling DEP for runMidlet.exe.
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) configuration can be found at the following place in Windows: Control Panel > System Security > System > Advanced system Settings > Advanced tab > Performance > Data Execution Prevention.
Add this file to the DEP exclusion list:
<javame-install-dir>\runtimes\cldc-hi-javafx\bin\runMidlet.exe
If things work for you now, complain loudly to Sun (now Oracle) that they need to make software without buffer overflows.
Personally I filed a bug-report against the JavaME SDK 3.0. You should do that too, or make your voice heard on the same bug-report that you're having this problem as well.
Freshly installed windows doesn't have msvcrtXX.dlls
Go to folder runtimes\\cdc-hi\\bin and copy Microsoft.VC80.CRT into runtimes\\cldc-hi-javafx\\bin. This problem will be fixed over autoupdate soon.
Problem with localhost
Please edit <javamesdk_installdir>\\toolkit-lib\\modules\\bootstrap\\conf\\system.properties and change
device-manager.object-registry.host=localhost to: device-manager.object-registry.host=127.0.0.1
Port 1299 might be taken
Please edit <javamesdk_installdir>\\toolkit-lib\\modules\\bootstrap\\conf\\system.properties and change
device-manager.object-registry.port=1299 to: device-manager.object-registry.port=1999
XP 64-bit
Please use 32-bit version of JDK.
Firewall
Make sure that firewall is not blocking communication on ports given in 3. Default port numbers are 1299 for windows and 1999 for Mac.
I have tried all those steps above to no avail, until I replaced my JDK jdk-8u117 with jdk-8u112 (Must be 32 bit) after reading this thread https://community.oracle.com/thread/4009110. I had to restart my machine after changing the Java version because it was not detecting right away after installation. I'm using Netbeans 7.4.

trying to connect to eclipse marketplace gives InvocationTargetException

When I click on "Help / Eclipse Marketplace", I get a popup progress box that says "Retrieving data from http://marketplace.eclipse.org", waits long enough to be a network timeout, then displays the Eclipse Marketplace dialog with a popup that says java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException. The "details" button doesn't give anything further, and the "error log" gives a lot of data but does not give me any further information (someone else would know what it means, I guess).
I am on Windows 7 64-bit, running eclipse Indigo 3.7; as part of working on this problem, I did a "help / check for updates" and let it loose. I ran it again and it said no updates were found.
I have looked at internet settings in IE (which I never use) and in Chrome (my default browser); both of them are set to auto-detect network connection settings. The machine is in my home, using a wireless router to a cable ISP, so I don't think any proxy should be necessary. However, I'm a programmer, not a network person, would be happy to learn about something else there that should be checked.
I enabled telnet on the windows machine and executed "telnet marketplace.eclipse.org 80"; it cleared the command screen and appeared to be waiting for input. I entered the telnet control character and it popped back to the dos prompt. There seems to be no connection issue to that domain on port 80.
My runtime environment is java 1.6.0_24; jre6 is the only installed execution environment that shows up in eclipse ("Windows / Preferences / Java / Installed JREs").
I found one post that claimed that turning ON Windows firewall fixed his issue; I looked and was displeased to find that Windows firewall was already turned on for my machine; I turned it off, but it did not change the error. (I have a hardware firewall, don't know why I would need Microsoft's or BitDefender's.)
There are several SO posts on the subject, but none of them seem to fit me closely enough; some of the things I have tried above came from those posts.
There are one or two reported bugs on the issue in eclipse, but they seem to be at least a year old and are reportedly fixed.
Can someone please tell me how to solve this, or at least where to look?

Read the article above. They were moving their servers and they hope to finish Sunday afternoon.
i did all the work around.. finally installing JRE 6 worked like a magic ... Try this!
try this -vmargs -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

Automation server can't create object - Microsoft JScript runtime error

I am trying to run a Java webstart application which is launched from a html page. While loading I get an alert with the message "Automation server can't create object" a couple of times after which the applications starts and works fine. The alerts come up only on one of the workstations. Any pointers on where I should look?
Regards,
Dutch
try the following IE setting: "Initialize and script ActiveX control not marked as safe."
May or may not apply to your case, but there are reported problems with the JScript Runtime throwing up errors when starting up Applets or Java WebStart applications when you have specific network settings.
Every now and again, there's a Windows Update that generates such a bug and another one that follows to fix it and you'll see some of these errors. Yours might be one of these.
Usually the workaround in-between is to either:
go to IE's Network Settings and uncheck "auto detect settings" or any PAC file setting
or go to the Java control panel's Network Settings and disable "Use browser settings" or other settings to use a direct connection instead.
Obviously, that workaround is only valid if you do not have to go through a proxy...
