Getting Java SocketException

Hello I want to develope a App for my Team, but I'm getting This Error:

java.net.SocketException: Address family not supported by protocol family: connect

My code is this:

package de.tbprivi.mgde.Home;

import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
import org.json.simple.parser.JSONParser;
import org.json.simple.parser.ParseException;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

public class Home {

 public JFrame frame;
 private JSONParser parser;

 public Home(){

    frame = new JFrame();
    frame.setTitle("Miners-Games.de - TEAM APP");
    frame.setSize(700,500);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);

    try {
        getEventData();
    } catch (IOException | ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

 }
 private void getEventData() throws IOException, ParseException {

    Object obj = parser.parse(new InputStreamReader(new URL("http://mylink.com/events.json").openStream()));

    JSONObject file = (JSONObject) obj;

    file.get("events");

  }
}

I'm using the org.json.simple Library.

The thing is if I'm just calling getEventsdata() and not the Home home = new Home() from my public static void main() than it is working.

Thanks in advance for the help

This happens if the call doesn't use the IPv4 stack.

I guess that the Java option -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true would do the trick.

If you are using eclipse set it via the jvm program line arguments
