Eclipse DDMS error “Can't bind to local 8600 for debugger”

Question

I get the following error in Eclipse:

[timestamp - ddms] Can\'t bind to local 8600 for debugger

Why?

Answer 1

In my case the problem was that there was a ghost eclipse hanging on background; it was not using any workspace and had no windows, so it was only on process list that I found it. Killing it resolved the issue.
