debug maven app locally does not work with the java debug extension

workspace launch.config の mainClass at.mytoolx.batch.mytoolAppLoader から始め、レポートに示されている Eclipse と VS Code の Java コマンドラインを比較します。指定された VOR_BGZ50 引数を使ってローカルデバッグ起動を再現し、その後、Java debug extension が classpath とデバッグオプションをどのように構築するかを調べます。VS Code でアプリケーションが報告された初期化例外なしに "Hello World" に到達すれば完了です。

Hi, we have a maven app, which is deployed to the mainframe, and we building our own application to fit Java Maven apps into our vscode workflow.

So we need to debug java maven apps for quarkus (maybe open liberty) and for mainframe batch.

To Debug the app local i used this minimal snippet which is working fine in eclipse...

@Dependent
public class BGZ50FileCreator extends JhapBatchApp {

    private final static String appName = "VOR_BGZ50";
    @Override
    public String getAppName() {
        return appName;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() throws CheckedBusinessException {
        System.out.println("Hello World");
    }   
}

In Vscode this exception is thrown before "Hello World" is printed

Unable to invoke public void  at.mysecretlib.init()  
...
Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
...
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

When comparing eclipse and vscode command for debug:

eclipse:

C:\mypath\jdk\1.8.0.262-3.b10.redhat.windows.x86_64\bin\javaw.exe -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,suspend=y,address=localhost:62642 "-javaagent:C:\mypath2\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi\424\0.cp\lib\javaagent-shaded.jar" -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -classpath
"C:\mymaven\at\mytool\mytool-batch\2.171.6\mytool-batch-2.171.6.jar;
....
at.mytoolx.batch.mytoolAppLoader VOR_BGZ50

vscode:

c:\mypath\jdk\1.8.0.262-3.b10.redhat.windows.x86_64\bin\javaw.exe' '-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=n,suspend=y,address=localhost:50209' '-cp' 'C:\myrepo\myproject\target\classes; C:\mymave\at\mytool\mytool-batch\2.171.6\mytool-batch-2.171.6.jar;
...
'at.mytoolx.batch.mytoolAppLoader' 'VOR_BGZ50'

The noteable differences are the missing javaagent, the additional "server=n" and an additional entry as first argument in classpath.

launch.config (in workspace file)

    "configurations": [
      {
        "type": "java",
        "name": "Java",
        "request": "launch",
        "mainClass": "at.mytoolx.batch.mytoolAppLoader",
        "projectName": "myproject",
        "args": "VOR_BGZ50",
        "javaExec": "c:\\mypath\\jdk\\1.8.0.262-3.b10.redhat.windows.x86_64\\bin\\javaw.exe",
        "shortenCommandLine": "none",
      }

Thanks!
