Issue Description

Issue	Description
JDK-8197943	Unable to use the JDWP API in JDK 8 to debug JDK >=9 The implementation of `VirtualMachineImpl.canGetInstanceInfo()` has been corrected, so it is now able to see JDK JVMs >= JDK 9. This correction allows certain debugger agents to operate correctly without any action required from a user (developer).
