Description
As part of testing this TER - https://github.ibm.com/websphere/system-test/issues/1409
I was trying out the Debugger options.
Wanted to test this:
You can enter "r" in the console to restart dev mode and if you are in debug mode, this should now just disconnect the debugger and not terminate dev mode (fixes https://github.com/OpenLiberty/liberty-tools-eclipse/issues/498). If dev mode changes the port on the restart, our debugger in LTE should pick up the new port.
After I type "r" in the console, I see that the server restarts, and the Debugger disconnects, but it doesn't re-connect after server has been started.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by entering "r" in the console while the debugger is attached, then observe the disconnect during the server restart. Trace the debugger reconnection flow across dev mode restart and verify that the debugger reconnects when the server starts again, including when the port changes.
