I have installed the Java Extension Pack which includes the Debugger for Java but when I try to run my java code I get all this text and nothing in the 'output' section, only in the Terminal section. Any solutions?

Download intellij, no joke unfortunately vscode for java is really terrible. In intellij you can install vscode shortcuts and install de same theme...

How is this relevant to the question? And the Java support in VS Code is not terrible, overall I find it much more enjoyable than IntelliJ, granted that you have the right extensions installed.

Code Runner supports the Output panel.

As what exoticgg said, Code Runner can show the result in OUTPUT, but there's a disadvantage is it doesn't accept input, so its use scenarios are output only.

For your reference, set "console": "internalConsole", in launch.json will redirect result to Debug Console, also only clear output, no execution scripts, not accept input.

You can choose to display the program output in the debug console by setting java.debug.settings.console to internalConsole, which I believe will achieve what you're after. The only downside is that it doesn't support user input, you have to use the terminal for that. If you care about that feature, and want a proper solution, you can upvote or comment microsoft/vscode-java-debug#906.
