 - `java.debug.settings.stepping.skipConstructors`: Skip constructor methods when stepping.
 - `java.debug.settings.jdwp.limitOfVariablesPerJdwpRequest`: The maximum number of variables or fields that can be requested in one JDWP request. The higher the value, the less frequently debuggee will be requested when expanding the variable view. Also a large number can cause JDWP request timeout. Defaults to 100.
 - `java.debug.settings.jdwp.requestTimeout`: The timeout (ms) of JDWP request when the debugger communicates with the target JVM. Defaults to 3000.
+- `java.debug.settings.jdwp.async`: Experimental: Controls whether the debugger is allowed to send JDWP commands asynchronously. Async mode can improve remote debugging response speed on high-latency networks. Defaults to `auto`, and automatically enable async mode in VS Code - Insiders.
+  - `auto` (Default)
+  - `on`
+  - `off`
 - `java.debug.settings.vmArgs`: The default VM arguments to launch the Java program. Eg. Use '-Xmx1G -ea' to increase the heap size to 1GB and enable assertions. If you want to customize the VM arguments for a specific debug session, please modify the 'vmArgs' config in launch.json.
 - `java.silentNotification`: Controls whether notifications can be used to report progress. If true, use status bar to report progress instead. Defaults to `false`.
