Yes, there is a feature in Spring Boot called devtools that allows you

Nothing has really changed here, it's just that some JDK internal
classes have moved and of course they are no longer accessible.
So if understand correctly then you want the debugger agent to create a
listener on an ephemeral port when started over ssh. That should work
fine and the listener port will be printed to stdout (and hence sent
over the ssh session) so that the user can connect with the socket
transport.
The alternative is of course to invert the setup so that the user starts
the debugger configured to use a ListeningConnector and have the
debuggee started with the `address` sub-option specifying the host/port
of the debugger to connect to (no server=y).
If there isn't a solution then serviceability-dev would be a good place
to bring up this topic as there has never been a supported way to
publish the debugger port (the sun.jdwp.listenerAddress property is for
the ProcessAttachingConnector).
