Classes are not automatically imported in the "Debug Console"

[cazacugmihai]

When the code completion is used, classes are not automatically imported in the Debug Console:

Set.of(1, 2)
Cannot evaluate because of compilation error(s): Set cannot be resolved.

Environment

• Operating System: linux
• JDK version: 19.0.1
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.72.2
• Java extension version: 0.25.3
• Java Debugger extension version: 0.45.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a breakpoint in a Java class;
   

2. When the execution is suspended, open the Debug Console and try to create a Set (e.g. Set.of(1, 2)), using the code completion feature. The aforementioned error is shown.
   

Current Result

Set.of(1, 2)
Cannot evaluate because of compilation error(s): Set cannot be resolved.

Expected Result

ImmutableCollections$Set12@287 size=2
0: Integer@276
1: Integer@277

Additional Informations

This functionality works out-of-the-box in IntelliJ IDEA. It would be nice to have it also in Visual Studio Code.
