scm daemon port allocation
How can I configure the port range the local scm daemon uses for his communication (eclipse ide)? We have the problem that sometimes it opens a port which we already use for other applications (e.g. 9100 for the websphere test environment).

Accepted answer
Unfortunately, the port chosen when Eclipse starts the daemon is random. However, it should check if the port is free to use. If you can, it might be good to start the applications that need a port before starting Eclipse. When Eclipse starts, it won't choose the same port. Or you can restart Eclipse in the hopes it will choose a different port.
If this doesn't help, I would suggest opening an enhancement asking for the ability to specify a port or maybe a range of ports that the Eclipse daemon can use. Stefan Hoffmann selected this answer as the correct answer
Comments Ok, I've opened an enhancement request.
