Description
I have a lot of folders to define in the debug option "sourcePaths", like :
- "${workspaceFolder}/src/plugin/Plugin1/src/java"
- "${workspaceFolder}/src/plugin/Plugin2/src/java"
- ...
Is it possible to support wildcard, so I can define only 1 line :
- "${workspaceFolder}/src/plugin/*/src/java"
Thanks !

Research direction
Start by tracing how the debug option "sourcePaths" is parsed and passed to the Java debugger. Check the existing tests around source path handling, then define completion as accepting "${workspaceFolder}/src/plugin/*/src/java" and resolving the matching folders without breaking explicit paths.
