Hi guys:  
with elasticsearch version 7.16.0, I can run org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch directly in Intellij Idea.The configuration of Intellij Idea is as follows：

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/4/d43c5d3994cd3ab5abce9b520d8a012de07232ab.png)  
However, with elasticsearch version 8.12.0, I found it didn't work.  
It seems to be blocked in the following code：

```auto
            //org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch#initPhase1
            var in = new InputStreamStreamInput(System.in);
            args = new ServerArgs(in);

```

Is there something I am not configured correctly?

Hi Henkel,

I'm somewhat surprised this ever worked, it certainly wasn't intentional. The [developer docs](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/main/TESTING.asciidoc#launching-and-debugging-from-an-ide) describe the way we expect folks to run an Elasticsearch node in a debugger:

> If you want to run and debug Elasticsearch from your IDE, the `./gradlew run` task supports a remote debugging option. Run the following from your terminal:
> 
> `./gradlew run --debug-jvm`
> 
> Next start the "Debug Elasticsearch" run configuration in IntelliJ. This will enable the IDE to connect to the process and allow debug functionality.

(also we're not all guys here 🙂 )
