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

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.

No / Don't know
### Operating System
Ubuntu
### JDK
GraalVM 21.0.2 Community

Contributor guide
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.
