As it does not answer your question but searching vm arguments I stumbled on this page and there seem to be no other. So if you want to pass vm arguments its like so
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "java",
"name": "ddtBatch",
"request": "launch",
"mainClass": "com.something.MyApplication",
"projectName": "MyProject",
"args": "Hello",
"vmArgs": "-Dspring.config.location=./application.properties"
}
]
}
