Debug adapter process has terminated unexpectedly (read ECONNRESET)

Java debugger randomly terminates when debug attach with the following error:
Debug adapter process has terminated unexpectedly (read ECONNRESET)

Environment

• Operating System: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
• JDK version: 1.8.0_66
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.30.0-insider (user setup)
• Java extension version: Java Extension Pack 0.4.0
• Java Debugger extension version: 0.15.0 - 2018-11-01

Steps To Reproduce

1. Configure launch.json:

        "type": "java",
        "name": "Debug (Launch)",
        "request": "launch",
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
        "console": "internalConsole",
        "stopOnEntry": false,
        "mainClass": "",
        "args": ""
    },

        "request": "attach",
        "hostName": "localhost",
        "port": 5005
    }
]
}

2. Run java app using gradle appRunDebug gradlew clean appRunDebug --stacktrace

The following is the logs from the chrome dev tools console:

Current Result

vscode stopped debugging with this error message
Debug adapter process has terminated unexpectedly (read ECONNRESET)

Expected Result

Debugging should still continue as the same scenario works fine with any other IDE (eclipse, intellij)

Start with the attach configuration in launch.json, run gradlew clean appRunDebug --stacktrace, and review the verbose Java server logs. Trace the termination through rawDebugSession.ts and debugSession.ts, using the ECONNRESET and Gradle timeout entries as leads; done means the attach session continues instead of stopping unexpectedly.
