Right, it seems that something on my Win7 computer is reserving a range of TCP ports even though netstat (or TcpView) doesn't show anything on those ports.
Once I changed activemq.port to 51616 and stomp-port to 51613, the broker started to work ok. It seems that pretty much all ports >61000 were taken by something as I tried about 20 random ports there and got the JVM_Bind error on all of those. Maybe Lync takes those ports or some VPN stuff on this comp, dunno. Weird are the ways of windows, can't say much more.
