Description
Some projects (such as games) will use try to catch exceptions in the main loop, which will cause the program to not generate uncaught exceptions, and if it breaks when an exception is caught, this will cause the debugger to break indefinitely (because exceptions are generated all the time and cannot be masked from the specified source)

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the repeated caught-exception behavior in a Java main loop and review how the Java debug server handles exception breakpoints through DAP. Done means exceptions from a specified source can be ignored without causing the debugger to break indefinitely.
