cant remote debug on tomcat via attach

i'm trying to remote debug my application, which is running on a tomcat.

Environment

• Operating System: mac OS 10.14.4
• JDK version: 1.8.0_131
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.34.0
• Java extension version: 0.7.1
• Java Debugger extension version: 0.18.0

Steps To Reproduce

my configuration:

{
  // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
  // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
  // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
        "type": "java",
        "name": "Debug (Attach) - Remote",
        "request": "attach",
        "hostName": "localhost",
        "port": 8090
    },
  ]
}

[attach a sample project reproducing the error]
attach logs

Current Result

i'm getting an error message in vscode: Timeout occured while waiting for packet 106

Expected Result

debugger attaches to the remote tomcat just fine

Additional Informations

the same configuration works with intelliJ idea, so it should work in vscode.
idea connects fine with host: localhost, port: 8090
idea shows these params: -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8090
do i have to add them somewhere for vscode?

Start with the provided launch configuration and the troubleshooting logging instructions, then compare the VS Code attach path with the JDWP parameters that IntelliJ uses. Done means identifying why the localhost:8090 Tomcat target times out and confirming that the debugger attaches successfully.
