RMI + Eclipse + Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Question

Hello,
Well the problem is this:
I'm developing an RMI app (IRC) using Eclipse under Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but I get ConnectException. I'm doing this locally and I'm sure the firewall is not rejecting the connection. Here's mi main method:
public static void main(String[] args)
System.setSecurityManager(new SecurityManager()
public void checkConnect(String host, int port) {}
public void checkConnect(String host, int port, Object context) {}
if (System.getSecurityManager() == null)
System.setSecurityManager(new SecurityManager());
try
IRCServer server = new Server();
IRCServer stub = (IRCServer) UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(server, 0);
Registry registry = LocateRegistry.getRegistry();
registry.rebind(RMIRegistryName, stub); ///////EXCEPTION HERE
System.out.println("ComputeEngine bound");
catch (Exception error)
System.err.println("IRCServer exception:");
error.printStackTrace();
If I try to pass the argument -Djava.security.policy to the JVM from Eclipse it throws the ClassNotFoundException. I don't know what I'm missing :S
I read there's no need to create the stubs since java 1.5 and also a friend told me (I think he is on Linux) that Eclipse run his app (the same project) without problems :S.
Is there something I'm not doing to make this works from Eclipse? If not I think I'll have to do it without Eclipse :S

The simple answer is to start the Registry inside your server JVM, with LocateRegistry.createRegistry(). Otherwise you have to supply a classpath argument to rmiregistry.exe with -J-Dclasspath=
