the root directory of your Java installation. As an alternative you may start the GUI on another host (for details please consult the installation guide).

Java has been started with the following command line:

Hi,

Error is shown above, port number 21212 is not free. Either change port to some other port or make sure that this port is free and then try again.

Thanks
