Command line JVM argument not working

[AlanGRutter]

• VSCode Version: 1.46.1
• OS Version: Linux Mint (Linux x64 4.15.0-109-generic)
• Tomcat Extension Version: 0.11.2

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Go to Customize JVM options in Tomcat extension
2.Add -Djdk.internal.httpclient.disableHostnameVerification=true
3.Start WAR package (that contains an invalid cert)

The Output shows an entry

INFO: Command line argument: -Djdk.internal.httpclient.disableHostnameVerification=true

however I still get a SSLHandshakeException.

Running a separate test project under debugger produces same exception unless I put the following line into the Launch.json configuration.

"vmArgs": [
"-Djdk.internal.httpclient.disableHostnameVerification=true"
]

When re-running the test, the exception is gone.

Hence the command-line argument is not being applied to the Tomcat instance.
