Very slow debug startup

[wtsiamruk]

It takes a lot of time when you trying to start the spring boot app in the debug mode.
The time can be seen in next message:

I actually have the same issues on my machine

Environment

• Operating System: Tested on Windows 10 and Linux (Ubuntu 20.04)
• JDK version: 11.0.9 amazon-correto or adoptopendjk (both have same behaviour)
• Visual Studio Code version: latest stable
• Java extension version: latest stable
• Java Debugger extension version: latest stable

Steps To Reproduce

1. [step 1] Put a breakpoint
2. [step 2] Launch the spring boot app of reasonable size (pet clinic will work fine)

Current Result

It takes a while to hit first breakpoint

Expected Result

First breakpoint hit is comparable to eclipse client hit speed

Interesting. Do you mind sharing a minimum sample project to help us to reproduce the issue? thanks.

Same issue here, this issue happens on any project, even new created one (at least new projects that I generates from Spring boot init). This can easily be reproduced by generating a new Spring boot project and start it in debug mode.

Same experience but I'm still very happy with my transition from Eclipse to VS Code.

What happens if you remove all breakpoints before launch, and add the breakpoint after?
