Description

### Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 21

### What happened

I am trying to debug my native executable in VSCode extension and I am trying to **pass arguments** to the executable. There is no code completion on the `args` parameter.

### Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component

Native Image

### How to reproduce

![no completion for args](https://github.com/apache/netbeans/assets/26887752/a7b40245-d8d8-4a20-8f51-48fe53b1daf3)

It is really hard to even find there is the `args` parameter. I was lucky to guess it. Please add proper _code completion_ support for the `args` argument in the launch configuration, @entlicher.

### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

No / Don't know

### Operating System

Ubuntu

### JDK

GraalVM 21.0.2 Community

### Apache NetBeans packaging

Apache VSNetBeans for VSCode

### Anything else

.

### Are you willing to submit a pull request?

Yes

Research direction

Start by locating the launch configuration completion handling in the Apache VSNetBeans extension and compare it with completion for the other launch parameters. Add completion for the `args` parameter and verify that it is suggested when editing a Native Image launch configuration in VSCode.
