Code Output not in the Ouput/Debug Panel rather Terminal in VSCode Java

I am trying to run Java Programs (beginner) in VS Code. Whenever I try to run the program, it runs in the Terminal Panel. Any way I can change it so the end result is always in the Output/Debug panel.

It makes things a lot easier and cleaner.

I have been looking on the forums and the VSCode site to see if someone has already answered this but it hasn't been yet.

You might be using debugger for java as an extension. You can modify the extension settings within the extension manager. Look for Debugger for Java and press on the settings icon. A list will appear. Press extension settings. There you can change the console specification to what you want. Set it to internalConsole. Go back to your code and run. You will see that it will show up on the Debug Console instead of the integrated terminal.

you could try to add "console": "internalConsole" in your launch.json like :

"configurations": [
           {
             "type": "java",
             "name": "CodeLens (Launch) - App",
             "request": "launch",
             "mainClass": "com.test.maven.App",
             "console": "internalConsole",
             "projectName": "my.app"
           }
         ]

then it will show in Debug Console

On the Visual Studio Code website there is a page that explain the process of doing just that: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/java/java-debugging

To resume it: 1. Download an extension pack to make it easier 2. Run/Debug the app (or method) by clicking on the Run | Debug over the said method. For the whole app click the Run | Debug over the main(). You can also press F5 to start the whole thing

Things should display in the Debug pane now.

Bear in mind that in order to run Java application you have to run the JVM which is a progrma in itself. That is why the terminal is usually brought up if you select Run.
