Error: Could not find or load main class @x.y.z.argfile #769
Description
[provide a description of the issue]
Environment
- Operating System: MacOS 10.14.6
- JDK version: 1.8.0_151
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.42.1
- Java extension version: Extension Pack 0.8.1
- Java Debugger extension version: I can't figure out how to determine this: "debugger for Java" doesn't appear in list of installed extension
Steps To Reproduce
-
[step 1]

[step 2]
The issue is that upon launching a debugger, VS Code runs this command line:
~/Sync/projects/music/music-03:cd /Users/Mike/Sync/projects/music/music-03 ; /Library
/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_151.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=n,suspend=y,address=localhost:58363
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 @/var/folders/pn/3p41p2fj14d50n707c7x2p4c0000gn
/T/cp_90sfb6m3zinsbhwyvyknqb5hv.argfile ptcs.App
And I get this error:
Error: Could not find or load main class
@.var.folders.pn.3p41p2fj14d50n707c7x2p4c0000gn.T.cp_90sfb6m3zinsbhwyvyknqb5hv.argfile
I have no idea where the command line came from... as far as I can tell, it's illegal on Mac to use an "at sign" @ in the command line, and java is trying to interpret that as the main class, so something is wrong.

Create Maven project in VS Code... install all Java extensions.
Work with project for several months, making many changes. Not sure what details are significant.
Here's the project:
music-03.zip
Try to launch debugger in maven project, using the default launch.json. I'm not using the "current file" one, but using the (Launch) - App config.
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
