Description

Really annoying, this.
Lots of java code with System.out.println(...) lines.
I was able to see one line work in the starter Main code, but nowhere else.
They used to work a few years ago, now do not. ...just do not print anywhere!
Unable to find something in the Microsoft Debugger for Java to turn this on.

Do I need a special import line in each source file to enable this?

Research direction

No repository file or test is named. Start by reproducing the missing System.out.println output in the starter Main code and compare it with another source file; done means identifying whether the Microsoft Java Debugger or project setup suppresses stdout and documenting the verified behavior.
