    Description

      java command allows the -Xdebug option to be specified. As noted in the documentation (dating as far back as Java 8), this option is only there for backward compatibility and currently does nothing https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/java.html#BGBCIEFC

      > -Xdebug
      >
      > Does nothing. Provided for backward compatibility.

      There are several scripts where this outdated option is still used (mostly due to copy/paste). This current enhancement proposes to officially deprecate this option for removal.
