   Is manual configuration of lanuch.json files just the expected way to use VS Code? I created a very simple HelloWorld.java file, opened the directory in VS Code, and clicked "Start Debugging". When I did that, VS Code prompted me with "To customize Run and Debug, create a launch.json file". I clicked that it it created a launch.json file with some fields auto-filled in.
   
   So maybe this is just how people are used to using VSCode, and we don't necessarily need a special wizard? Maybe we just need to make sure the extension recognizes directories containing with *.dfdl.xsd files as DFDL projects, and know how to provide a reasonable launch.json for such projects?
   
   I guess what I'm saying is we might no want to invent the wheel, but see how VS Code handles debugging things like Java/C/etc. and just do something similar? Assuming that is reasonably user friendly.
