A lightweight Java Debugger based on Java Debug Server which extends the Language Support for Java by Red Hat. It allows users to debug Java code using Visual Studio Code (VS Code). Here's a list of features:
Open VS Code and press F1 or Ctrl + Shift + P to open command palette, select Install Extension and type vscode-java-debug.
Or launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl + P), paste the following command, and press enter.
ext install vscode-java-debug
F5Please also check the documentation of Language Support for Java by Red Hat if you have trouble setting up your project.
mainClass - The fully qualified name of the class containing the main method. If not specified, the debugger automatically resolves the possible main class from current project.
${file} - Current Java file.com.mypackage.Main - The fully qualified class name.com.java9.mymodule/com.mypackage.Main - The fully qualified module name and class name./path/to/Main.java - The file path of the main class.args - The command line arguments passed to the program.
"${command:SpecifyProgramArgs}" - Prompt user for program arguments.sourcePaths - The extra source directories of the program. The debugger looks for source code from project settings by default. This option allows the debugger to look for source code in extra directories.modulePaths - The modulepaths for launching the JVM. If not specified, the debugger will automatically resolve from current project. If multiple values are specified, the debugger will merge them together.
$Auto - Automatically resolve the modulepaths of current project.$Runtime - The modulepaths within 'runtime' scope of current project.$Test - The modulepaths within 'test' scope of current project.!/path/to/exclude - Exclude the specified path from modulepaths./path/to/append - Append the specified path to the modulepaths.classPaths - The classpaths for launching the JVM. If not specified, the debugger will automatically resolve from current project. If multiple values are specified, the debugger will merge them together.

There could be duplicated class names in different projects. This setting also works when the debugger looks for the specified main class when launching a program. It is required when the workspace has multiple java projects, otherwise the expression evaluation and conditional breakpoint may not work.cwd - The working directory of the program. Defaults to ${workspaceFolder}.env - The extra environment variables for the program.envFile - Absolute path to a file containing environment variable definitions. Multiple files can be specified by providing an array of absolute pathsstopOnEntry - Automatically pause the program after launching.console - The specified console to launch the program. If not specified, use the console specified by the java.debug.settings.console user setting.

This configuration item provides multiple approaches to shorten the command line. Defaults to auto.
none - Launch the program with the standard command line 'java [options] classname [args]'.jarmanifest - Generate the classpath parameters to a temporary classpath.jar file, and launch the program with the command line 'java -cp classpath.jar classname [args]'.argfile - Generate the classpath parameters to a temporary argument file, and launch the program with the command line 'java @argfile [args]'. This value only applies to Java 9 and higher.auto - Automatically detect the command line length and determine whether to shorten the command line via an appropriate approach.stepFilters - Skip specified classes or methods when stepping.
classNameFilters - [Deprecated - replaced by skipClasses] Skip the specified classes when stepping. Class names should be fully qualified. Wildcard is supported.skipClasses - Skip the specified classes when stepping.

Wildcard is supported.java.lang.ClassLoader - Skip the classloaders.skipSynthetics - Skip synthetic methods when stepping.skipStaticInitializers - Skip static initializer methods when stepping.skipConstructors - Skip constructor methods when stepping.javaExec - The path to java executable to use. By default, the project JDK's java executable is used.hostName (required, unless using processId) - The host name or IP address of remote debuggee.port (required, unless using processId) - The debug port of remote debuggee.processId - Use process picker to select a process to attach, or Process ID as integer.
${command:PickJavaProcess} - Use process picker to select a process to attach.timeout - Timeout value before reconnecting, in milliseconds (default to 30000ms).sourcePaths - The extra source directories of the program. The debugger looks for source code from project settings by default. This option allows the debugger to look for source code in extra directories.projectName - The preferred project in which the debugger searches for classes. There could be duplicated class names in different projects. It is required when the workspace has multiple java projects, otherwise the expression evaluation and conditional breakpoint may not work.stepFilters - Skip specified classes or methods when stepping.

The higher the value, the less frequently debuggee will be requested when expanding the variable view. Also a large number can cause JDWP request timeout. Defaults to 100.java.debug.settings.jdwp.requestTimeout: The timeout (ms) of JDWP request when the debugger communicates with the target JVM. Defaults to 3000.java.debug.settings.jdwp.async: Experimental: Controls whether the debugger is allowed to send JDWP commands asynchronously. Async mode can improve remote debugging response speed on high-latency networks. Defaults to auto, and automatically switch to async mode when the latency of a single jdwp request exceeds 15ms during attach debugging.
auto (Default)onoffjava.debug.settings.vmArgs: The default VM arguments to launch the Java program. Eg. Use '-Xmx1G -ea' to increase the heap size to 1GB and enable assertions. If you want to customize the VM arguments for a specific debug session, please modify the 'vmArgs' config in launch.json.java.debug.settings.debugSupportOnDecompiledSource: [Experimental]: Enable debugging support on the decompiled source code. Be aware that this feature may affect the loading speed of Call Stack Viewlet. You also need Language Support for Java by Red Hat@1.20.0 or higher to use this feature.java.silentNotification: Controls whether notifications can be used to report progress. If true, use status bar to report progress instead. Defaults to false.Pro Tip: The documentation Configuration.md provides lots of samples to demonstrate how to use these debug configurations, recommend to take a look.
