You have to call setReuseAddress(true) before the socket is bound to the port. You are calling it after, because you are passing the port to the constructor, which will bind the socket immediately.

Try this instead:

serverSocket = new ServerSocket(); // <-- create an unbound socket first
serverSocket.setReuseAddress(true);
serverSocket.bind(new InetSocketAddress(SERVER_PORT)); // <-- now bind it
