@SidShetye , Thanks for reaching out to us. We will investigate it further and update you shortly.

Hello @SidShetye ,
Apologies for the delay here.

Currently Remote debugging is not supported for Linux OS.
I have tried to repro the scenario and this is what it says in the portal "Your Selected Runtime Stack does not currently Support Remote Debugging"

Please see the screenshot below:

I hope this information helps. We will now proceed to close this thread. If there are further questions regarding this matter, please tag me in your reply. We will gladly continue the discussion and we will reopen the issue.

"Remote debugging is not supported for Linux OS."
Where in the docs is this limitation reflected?
Here are some pages where this limitation is NOT reflected:

1. "Java Web Apps with Visual Studio Code"
   https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/java/java-webapp#_run-and-debug-the-application
2. "Debugging"
   https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging#_platformspecific-properties
   states: "Valid operating properties are "windows" for Windows, "linux" for Linux and "osx" for macOS."
3. "Debugger for Java"
   https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscjava.vscode-java-debug
4. "Running and debugging Java"
   https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/java/java-debugging#_configuration-options
   I wasted a lot of time on this. Can we please do better for others?
   Please re-open this thread pending documentation changes (or fix). @MonikaReddy-MSFT

Why is this not mentioned in the documentation, or if it is, please point where. Nasty surprise in setting up everything, and only at that point finding out this limitation. @MonikaReddy-MSFT
