Actually it is true `{ "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [

    {
        "name": "Java",
        "type": "java",
        "request": "launch",
        "stopOnEntry": true,
        "jdkPath": "${env:JAVA_HOME}/bin",
        "cwd": "${fileDirname}",
        "startupClass": "${fileBasenameNoExtension}",
        "classpath": [
            ".",
            "${fileDirname}"
        ]
    },
    {
        "name": "Java Console App",
        "type": "java",
        "request": "launch",
        "stopOnEntry": true,
        "jdkPath": "${env:JAVA_HOME}/bin",

        "startupClass": "${fileBasenameNoExtension}",
        "classpath": [
            ".",
            "${fileDirname}"
        ],
        "externalConsole": true
    }
]

}`

Then, be sure that "Java Console App" is checked in debug menu before click the green play button. :-)

It shows me: Failed to start the program, Timeout after 5000 milli-seconds

[faustinoaq]

Ok, I need more information about your environment, What is your Operative System?

I'm using win10.

[faustinoaq]

Seems you have some different configuration in your machine.

I also have Windows 10, and this extension works well: (I used your code as example)

[GorvGoyl]

it is a bug that we can't use internal terminal for user input while in debug mode. for Python/C# internal terminal is working fine while debugging. I guess the issue is more on the VS code side but not sure.

[faustinoaq]

This was the original issue :sweat_smile:

[weinand]

I don't think that this is a VS Code issue.

The only question is: does the Java debugger support to communicate over a separate communication channel so that stdin/stdout if freely available to the Java program. If the debugger itself uses stdin/stdout to communicate with the user, the Java program cannot read from stdin at the same time.

[faustinoaq]

I was a bit confused, My bad :sweat_smile:

[faustinoaq]

@weinand Thanks for keep discussion here :+1:

[faustinoaq]

I added this issue to Known issues in README for now.

Also I added a tiny Contributing guide if someone want to help to fix this.
