PickKit 5 device is not found

[wholder]

Describe the problem

Ive been successfully using hid4java for several years to enumerate and talk to USB-based debuggers such as the PicKit 4. I recently I tried to use the newer PicKit 5 device, but it is not detected by hid4java (even with the latest 0.8.0 release.) The PicKit 5 seems to be visible in the Mac's USB menu, but this may be a false indication as the device also contains a serial port.

Platform

Mac Pro 5,1 using Mojave 10.14.6 (18G9323)

To Reproduce

Try to enumerate with code like:

for (HidDevice hidDevice : hidServices.getAttachedHidDevices()) {
   ...

and the PicKit 5 is not found...

Expected behavior

Expected to find the device

Additional information

This test code should illustrate the problem:

package org.hid4java;
import org.hid4java.*;

public class ListHIDDevices {
public static void main(String[] args) throws HidException {
ListHIDDevices example = new ListHIDDevices();
example.listDevices();
}

public void listDevices () throws HidException {
// Configure to use custom specification
HidServicesSpecification hidServicesSpecification = new HidServicesSpecification();
hidServicesSpecification.setAutoShutdown(true);
hidServicesSpecification.setScanInterval(500);
hidServicesSpecification.setPauseInterval(5000);
hidServicesSpecification.setScanMode(ScanMode.SCAN_AT_FIXED_INTERVAL_WITH_PAUSE_AFTER_WRITE);
// Get HID services using custom specification
HidServices hidServices = HidManager.getHidServices(hidServicesSpecification);
// Start the services
hidServices.start();
// Provide a list of attached devices
for (HidDevice hidDevice : hidServices.getAttachedHidDevices()) {
int iNum = hidDevice.getInterfaceNumber();
String manf = hidDevice.getManufacturer().trim();
String prod = hidDevice.getProduct();
int vendor = hidDevice.getVendorId();
int product = hidDevice.getProductId();
String serialNum = hidDevice.getSerialNumber();
int usage = hidDevice.getUsage();
String id = hidDevice.getId();
int releaseNum = hidDevice.getReleaseNumber();
int usePage = hidDevice.getUsagePage();
System.out.printf("%04X:%04X:%04X - prod: %-30s, manf: %s", vendor, product, usage, prod.trim(), manf.trim());
System.out.print((manf.length() > 1 ? " (" + manf + ")" : "") +
(serialNum != null && serialNum.length() > 0 ? " (serial number: " + serialNum + ")" : ""));
if (hidDevice.isOpen()) {
hidDevice.close();
}
if (hidDevice.open() && hidDevice.isOpen()) {
hidDevice.setNonBlocking(true);
hidDevice.close();
}
System.out.println();
}
// Shut down and rely on auto-shutdown hook to clear HidApi resources
hidServices.shutdown();
}
}

With the PickKit 4 I see this line included in the printout with the other HID devices:

03EB:2177:0001 - prod: MPLAB PICkit 4 CMSIS-DAP , manf: Microchip Technology Incorporated (Microchip Technology Incorporated) (serial number: BUR202273231)

However, when I switch to the PicKit 5 only the other HID devices are listed.
