To avoid confusion, the DAP client may clear any pending commands from the terminal before launching a new app in terminal.

If something is executed in the terminal via the Java extension, that's a bug with the extension.

VS Code controls the terminal, not Java extension. Java extension only implements DAP. When the user runs or debugs a Java program, Java extension just calculates and sends the command line to VS Code through DAP protocol. VS Code copies and runs the command line in the terminal.
