i trying debug java application in visual studio code , getting following error: "error:spawn jdb enoent".

vs code suggesting update launch.json have following:

{     "version": "0.2.0",     "configurations": [         {             "name": "java",             "type": "java",             "request": "launch",             "stoponentry": true,             "cwd": "${filedirname}",             "startupclass": "${filebasename}",             "options": [                 "-classpath",                 "\"${filedirname};.\""             ]         },         {             "name": "java console app",             "type": "java",             "request": "launch",             "stoponentry": true,             "cwd": "${filedirname}",             "startupclass": "${filebasename}",             "options": [                 "-classpath",                 "\"${filedirname};.\""             ],             "externalconsole": true         }     ] } 

i building using maven , have following vscode plugins installed https://github.com/donjayamanne/javavscode.

my assumption vs code not able find jdb.exe , trying find should configured.

problem related missing %path% pointing c:\program files\java\jdk1.8.0_102\bin. once system variable %path% has been modified include c:\program files\java\jdk1.8.0_102\bin vs code launched java debugger.
