Server port in use when restarting development environment

If the product crashes or the product process (java.exe) is terminated in the Windows Task Manager while the server is running, you may receive a Server port port_number is in use message when trying to start the server after restarting the development environment. Some server resources are not fully released.

The work around is to terminate the server process (javaw.exe) in the Task Manager before starting the server.
