There appear to be only two references to launch.json in this repository. There does not appear to be any part of the code actually reading or referencing or introspecting a file named launch.json.
End users may find references to launch.json confusing if a third party tool has launched the debugger to connect to a java process and did not pass in a "projectName" to the call. While I realize this is a bit outside the scope of this repository, an example would be a vscode extension using the vscode.debug API (which flows to the https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-java-debug extension) and not setting a project name. In this case there is no launch.json file.
private async startDebugger(port: string) {
this.port = port;
vscode.debug.startDebugging(undefined, {
type: 'java',
request: 'attach',
name: 'Debug (Remote)',
hostName: 'localhost',
port,
projectName // set to undefined as an example
});
}
Since this repository itself does not read a launch.json at all, and all configuration is passed in via a Debug Adapter, not an existing file, these references to a file name are very misleading.
