Setting environment variables for Tomcat

[0xmn]

• VSCode Version: 1.36.1
• OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
• Tomcat Extension Version:0.11.1

I have a maven project set up. After the build the .war is located in target/app.war and I can start it with 'Run on Tomcat'. How can I pass environment variables to the tomcat? I created a setenv.sh and if I start the tomcat manual it works. setenv.sh is not executed if the extension starts the tomcat. I tried also to create a .env in the root directory of the application containing the required environment variables but it's not working.

This would essentially need the same solution as in #224.

Having .env would be nice, but setenv.sh or some other way of dynamically setting vars should be supported as well.

Is there a timeline for this?
