Adding support for Remote Debug Service

Remote Debug Service acts as a proxy between the Debug Engine and Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) clients, like the Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extensions. Remote Debug Service enables interactive debugging of COBOL and PL/I applications in these remote debuggers. Remote Debug Service can also be configured to collect headless code coverage.

Notes:
  • Remote Debug Service is only available with IBM® Developer z/OS® Enterprise Edition.
  • Remote Debug Service requires Java 17 or 21. After installation, you need to configure z/OS to run Java applications.
  • Remote Debug Service and the headless code coverage collector are built on Eclipse and Java technology. Configuration options for Eclipse and Java might affect the behavior of Remote Debug Service and headless code coverage collector.
