debug maven app locally does not work with the java debug extension

Hi, we have a maven app, which is deployed to the mainframe, and we building our own application to fit Java Maven apps into our vscode workflow.

So we need to debug java maven apps for quarkus (maybe open liberty) and for mainframe batch.

To Debug the app local i used this minimal snippet which is working fine in eclipse...

@Dependent
public class BGZ50FileCreator extends JhapBatchApp {

    private final static String appName = "VOR_BGZ50";
    @Override
    public String getAppName() {
        return appName;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() throws CheckedBusinessException {
        System.out.println("Hello World");
    }   
}

In Vscode this exception is thrown before "Hello World" is printed

Unable to invoke public void  at.mysecretlib.init()  
...
Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
...
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

When comparing eclipse and vscode command for debug:

eclipse:

C:\mypath\jdk\1.8.0.262-3.b10.redhat.windows.x86_64\bin\javaw.exe -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,suspend=y,address=localhost:62642 "-javaagent:C:\mypath2\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi\424\0.cp\lib\javaagent-shaded.jar" -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -classpath
"C:\mymaven\at\mytool\mytool-batch\2.171.6\mytool-batch-2.171.6.jar;
....
at.mytoolx.batch.mytoolAppLoader VOR_BGZ50

vscode:

c:\mypath\jdk\1.8.0.262-3.b10.redhat.windows.x86_64\bin\javaw.exe' '-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=n,suspend=y,address=localhost:50209' '-cp' 'C:\myrepo\myproject\target\classes; C:\mymave\at\mytool\mytool-batch\2.171.6\mytool-batch-2.171.6.jar;
...
'at.mytoolx.batch.mytoolAppLoader' 'VOR_BGZ50'

The noteable differences are the missing javaagent, the additional "server=n" and an additional entry as first argument in classpath.

launch.config (in workspace file)

    "configurations": [
      {
        "type": "java",
        "name": "Java",
        "request": "launch",
        "mainClass": "at.mytoolx.batch.mytoolAppLoader",
        "projectName": "myproject",
        "args": "VOR_BGZ50",
        "javaExec": "c:\\mypath\\jdk\\1.8.0.262-3.b10.redhat.windows.x86_64\\bin\\javaw.exe",
        "shortenCommandLine": "none",
      }

Thanks!

Inizia con la workspace launch.config per mainClass at.mytoolx.batch.mytoolAppLoader e confronta le righe di comando Java di Eclipse e VS Code mostrate nel report. Riproduci l’avvio del debug locale con l’argomento VOR_BGZ50 fornito, quindi esamina come la Java debug extension costruisce il classpath e le opzioni di debug. Il lavoro è completato quando l’applicazione raggiunge "Hello World" in VS Code senza l’eccezione di inizializzazione segnalata.
