Research direction

Start by reproducing the debugging problem with the Java microservices sample at https://github.com/blakemcbride/Kiss, comparing VS Code with IntelliJ as described. Identify the runtime code change that VS Code cannot handle and define a failing debugger scenario and expected behavior before choosing an entry point or test.

Description

ai-triaged question

I use Java microservices. I can debug them just fine with intellij. However vscode can't handle code that changes at runtime. Since intellij works, I know it can be done. Sample code at https://github.com/blakemcbride/Kiss
