language-check hangs during initialization.

[2ank3th]

I am using language-check for few days without an issue. Today, Language-check hangs for 10+ minutes during self.grammarTool = language_check.LanguageTool('en-US') . I am using language-check-1.0 with python 2.7.13.

Looks like _server_is_alive() is not working correctly and multiple servers are created on the same port.

@2ank3th Did you find a solution for this problem? I'm experiencing it too, seems like it just appeared out of nowhere

Hi! Since this project has been abandoned, I started a new fork over at https://github.com/jxmorris12/language_tool_python.

My version supports new versions of Java and LanguageTool. language-check is stuck on Java 8 and LanguageTool 3.2; latest versions are Java 14 and LanguageTool 4.9!

I'm happy to help you with your issue if you raise it over at my repository! Thanks!
