ERROR | Failed to start Artemis JMS Message Broker. Reason: Address already in use

In my case i had to make kill the process that was using 8161 in bootstrap.xml (in etc folder)

Following below steps to find PID and kill the process

1. find the process id that is using this port (in your case, 8161). In command prompt write: netstat -a -o -n and look at the process id.
2. Next kill the process by typing: taskkill /F /PID "process id" by running the command prompt in administrator mode
