Hi @wenytang-ms, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

• VS Code Java Debugger doesn’t yet support no-config debugging (F5 without a launch.json).
• There’s an existing feature request tracking this:
  • No-config debugging for Java: No-config debugging vscode-java-debug#1530
• No workaround is available currently; you can subscribe to that issue for updates.
• In the meantime, you can create a minimal launch.json to work around this:

  {
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
      {
        "type": "java",
        "name": "Launch Current File",
        "request": "launch",
        "mainClass": "${file}"
      }
    ]
  }

The team will respond to your issue shortly. I hope these suggestions are helpful in the meantime. If this comment helped you, please give it a 👍. If the suggestion was not helpful or incorrect, please give it a 👎. Your feedback helps us improve!
