| 31 | This package defines JDI events and event processing. |
| 32 | An {@link com.sun.jdi.event.Event} is always a member of an |
| 33 | {@link com.sun.jdi.event.EventSet}, which |
| 34 | is retrieved from the {@link com.sun.jdi.event.EventQueue}. |
| 35 | Examples of Events include |
| 36 | {@link com.sun.jdi.event.BreakpointEvent "breakpoints events"}, |
| 37 | {@link com.sun.jdi.event.ThreadStartEvent "thread creation events"} and |
| 38 | {@link com.sun.jdi.event.VMDeathEvent "virtual machine death event"}. |
| 39 | With the exception |
| 40 | of termination events, all events received must be requested with an |
| 41 | {@link com.sun.jdi.request.EventRequest "EventRequest"}. The |
| 42 | {@link com.sun.jdi.request} package defines event requests and event |
| 43 | request management. |
| 44 | <p> |
| 45 | Methods may be added to the interfaces in the JDI packages in future |
| 46 | releases. Existing packages may be renamed if the JDI becomes a standard |
| 47 | extension. |
