    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "java",
            "name": "Current File",
            "request": "launch",
            "mainClass": "${file}"
        },
        {
            "type": "java",
            "name": "App",
            "request": "launch",
            "args": [
            ],
            "mainClass": "com.gem.App",
