JBoss - ExportException: Port already in use: 1098

Question

I'm getting the following error when I try to start JBoss

10:10:43,298 INFO  [WebService] Using RMI server codebase: http://127.0.0.1:8083/
10:10:43,938 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Start: name=jboss:service=Naming state=Create mode=Manual requiredState=Installed

    at java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(UnicastRemoteObject.java:256)

However When I try to see what ports are being listened to. I don't see that port!

any ideas?

Try TCPView (TCPView v3.05). I get this "port already in use" quite a lot, and TCPView always usually catches the culprit.
