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.
