Research direction

Start by reproducing the Java debugger launch through integratedTerminal on Windows with WSL, then compare it with internalConsole and capture the relevant launch configuration and error behavior. Done means establishing whether integratedTerminal is supported in this setup and identifying a concrete fix or documentation change for the TransportTimeoutException.

Description

ai-triaged question

I've been trying to run the Java debugger in my windows machine using WSL but have never been able to using the integratedTerminal. Is this something that's expected? Am I only able to use internalConsole?
