Remote Debug not working ??

Jboss: jboss-eap-4.3
IDE: IntelliJ 7.1
OS: Ubuntu Hardy Heron

No matter what I seem to do I cannot remote debug with jboss-eap-4.3. I keep getting the error: "Cannot connect to host http://localhost:8080". I am sure that there are no other applications using that port. It happens on my colleagues machines as well. Now using jboss version 1.4.2 - the remote debug works perfectly.

I am sure that the JAVA_OPTS are setup correctly especially that the port in the JBOSS server config in Intellij match the debug port in the my JAVA_OPTS config.

Anybody else running into this ??
