This class was never intended to be used directly of course. It doesn't 
exist (or rather it has moved) in JDK 9. Are you grabbing the port so 
that it can be published for debuggers to attach? Have you considered 
publishing the pid instead - that would allow debuggers to use the 
ProcessAttachingConnector to attach.
