Error in making a socket connection

Question

I am trying to run the program below, but I am getting this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
    at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
    at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:351)

    at com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory.newConnection(ConnectionFactory.java:533)
    at Recieve.main(Recieve.java:14)

The program I am trying to run is:

import com.rabbitmq.client.Channel;
import com.rabbitmq.client.Connection;
import com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory;

public class Send {
    private final static String QUEUE_NAME = "hello";

    public static void main(String[] argv) throws java.io.IOException {
        ConnectionFactory factory = new ConnectionFactory();
        factory.setHost("localhost");
        Connection connection = factory.newConnection();
        Channel channel = connection.createChannel();
        channel.queueDeclare(QUEUE_NAME, false, false, false, null);
        String message = "Hello World!";
        channel.basicPublish("", QUEUE_NAME, null, message.getBytes());
        System.out.println(" [x] Sent '" + message + "'");
        channel.close();
        connection.close();
    }
}

I am not aware of making a socket connection, please let me know how to resolve this.
