Description
I am using Java to create a Tibco Rendezvous application, the event name used can have an asterisk (*) or a greater than (>) to indicate multicast. However whenever I use the greater than sign, it doesn't register the next argument which leads to an "Array out of index" exception.
Environment
- Operating System: Pop OS 21.10
- JDK version: 17
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.62.2
- Java extension version: 0.22.1
- Java Debugger extension version: 0.38.0
Steps To Reproduce
- Open Run/Debug configuration file
- Add
"args": "9999 7560 ';239.11.2.99;' '' 'GYRO.BRIDGE.>' 6290 ';239.11.2.99;' ''"to whichever configuration - Run the configuration
attach a sample project reproducing the error
attach logs

Just taking a screenshot because all I am doing is printing each argument, so no errors.
Current Result
Greater than sign makes the next argument not being registered when running the application.
Edit: Just want to add that this code isn't printing to the terminal
Expected Result
Register the greater sign
Edit: Should print to the terminal
