Description
When starting multiple services it would be nice that the terminal would take the name given to the launch json. For instance the launch json name is called management here as in the image below but it is lost in the terminals as the image above.
When the terminal starts deleting the first lines I cannot understand which service is which anymore, so it would be a really helpful feature to have that.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Java launch.json configurations are handled when an integrated terminal is created, then inspect how terminal tabs receive their labels. The feature is done when a configuration's name, such as "management", remains visible on its terminal tab while debugging multiple services.
