Description
VSCode has the support for step back debugging (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/7652) but the debugger has to implement the capability.
vscode-node-debug already did it (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/13705 & https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-node-debug/issues/77).
Is it possible to implement this on Debugger for Java?
