The key error is: Reason: java.rmi.server.ExportException: Port already in use: 1098 Either find out what is using port 1098 and kill it, or change the port within JBoss. You can use netstat or, better yet, tcpview form www.sysinternals.com, to see what has that port open (on my box Norton Antivirus occasionally open port 1098, in which case I reboot it and it selects another port at random).
