"Run without debugging" in vscode starts the jvm in debugging mode

[kostaskougios]

Describe the bug

I've created a run config:

    {
      "type": "scala",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "TroopsApp",
      "mainClass": "troops.troopsApp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {}
    }

When I try to run it with "Run without debugging" (ctrl-f5), the jvm starts in debugging mode.

Note: if I go to my main() class and click the "run" lense, it runs differently and not in debugging mode.

It may be a vscode behaviour, seems there is a lot of similar issues in other languages, https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=vscode+%22run+without+debugging%22+always+starts+in+debugging+

Also seems tests run always in debugging mode. I've some scala tests that run a lot slower within vscode compared to running them from sbt.

Expected behavior

start the jvm without debugging

Thanks for reporting! Looks like we don't use the same mechanisms when running via launch.json. I was sure that was already fixed, but I need to actually take a look.
