Description
Reports from internal user of the debugger connection timing out when using the Liberty Tools Eclipse "Debug" operation.
This is running w/ Semeru Java 17 on Win 11,
Eclipse OpenJ9 VM 17.0.7.0 (build openj9-0.38.0, JRE 17 Windows 11 amd64-64-Bit ...
Interestingly enough, this particular user was able to successfully establish a Debug connection with the same app on the same system, using the WDT/LDT feature in another Eclipse install.
I wonder if there is anything to consider here?:
https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty-tools/blob/integration/dev/com.ibm.ws.st.core/src/com/ibm/ws/st/core/internal/launch/BaseLibertyLaunchConfiguration.java
Note: The solution here could possibly overlap https://github.com/OpenLiberty/liberty-tools-eclipse/issues/400 as this issue suggests the need for a new "Liberty Tools" Run/Debug config type of our own.

Research direction
Start by reviewing com.ibm.ws.st.core/src/com/ibm/ws/st/core/internal/launch/BaseLibertyLaunchConfiguration.java, then compare the failing Liberty Tools Eclipse Debug operation with the successful WDT/LDT setup described in the report. Check the relationship to issue 400 and determine the cause of the timeout; done means the Debug connection works reliably for the reported Semeru Java 17 and Windows 11 setup.
