Java server started when clicking on 'config launch config' #142
Description
- Java extension pack installed
- have a non Java project open in VSCode
- open the debug viewlet and click on 'configure launch config'.
- Surprisingly, this takes a few seconds. Check the status line and see that the Java language server is starting
-> As I'm in a non-Java project, the Java debug extension should detect that and not try to contribute a debug configuration and start the Java language server

Because VSCode stopped supporting
onDebug:typeactivation event, java debugger can only configure the activation eventonDebug. It seems Java debugger/Language server extension will be activated so long as the user clicksF5on any project.gregvanl commentedon Jan 18, 2018
Another scenario where this is problematic is if the user does not have a launch.json in their workspace.
For example: Create a new Express App and then press F5.
In this case, the debugger calls each installed extension which activates on onDebugInitialConfiguration. The Java Debugger was changed recently to activate onDebugInitialConfigurations (from onDebug) but in the non-launch.json scenario, the Java Debugger extension is activated and there is long delay without any status to the user while the Java Language Server is started.
