JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [../../../src/share/back/debugInit.c:690]

I have been trying to run with JRebel this configuration:

Here is my output:

Notice the following start up parameter in your post.

-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n

There must be some other process occupied the 8787 port.

The 8787 port is already in use. If the 8787 port in use by another application, you need to select a different port number in file run.bat For example, 18787

ERROR: transport error 202: bind failed: Address already in use ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510) from " JAVA_OPTS: address=8787 " u set Address 8787

find the pid

netstat -ap | grep 8787

kill theFindedPid

if u still get the pid by " netstat -ap | grep 8787 " there are child pids of the theFindedPid 2. pstree -p and pstree -p | grep theFindedPid to find if there are child pids of the theFindedPid

find the groupPid of the pid ps x -o "%r %p %y %x %c"
kill -TERM -groupPid

Usually this error occurs when the port is already in use. Based on my experience, this usually happen when the server didn't started successfully making the server still running in the process. If you're using windows, you can check out your Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and then look for "java.exe" process. Terminate it and try to start your server again.

This problem occurs whenever the port required to run your server is already in use by some other application. Since the port number 8080 which i used for my jetty server was already in use,it gave me this error so I just changed the port from 8080 to 7070 and it worked for me..

Check the debug port in your
