How to configure Visual Studio Code debugger?

Question

It turns out that I am programming in Java, from Visual Studio Code, my problem is that when debugging my project, the internal classes of the Java JDK are also debugged, it is very slow to debug a project like this, since what I want, evidently, is to see the operation of the classes of my project, in order to find possible errors, not to see the operation of the JDK classes, of which nothing I can edit. From the settings.json of Vs Studio Code, I saw a function that just allows you to skip those classes when debugging, but even putting it still does not work, then in the launch.json of the project there are also similar functions, but returned, when tested, absolutely nothing happened.

This is the function I found that can be used in the settings.json:

"java.debug.settings.stepping.skipClasses": [      
   "java.awt.*",       
  "$JDK",       
  "javax.swing.*"    
 ]

and this is launch.json:

   "stepFilters": {              
  	"skipClasses": [                
    		"$JDK",    
   			"junit.*"                
	], 
	"skipSynthetics": false,               
	"skipStaticInitializers": false,                
	"skipConstructors": false
}

These are the kind of classes that this show me, that don't interest me:

I will be attentive to your answers, thanks and greetings.
