Ah, I think I know what this is. Debian changed some default Java config
so that it only works with IPv6 (Don't ask me why). To fix:

Add /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf with contents:

net.ipv6.bindv6only = 0

then run: sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf
and restart eclipse. Then check whether it listens again on the IPv4
port.

That should do the trick :)

with kind regards,
Derick
