    DisposeObjects Command (14)
    Releases a list of object IDs. For each object in the list, the following applies. The count of references held by the back-end (the reference count) will be decremented by refCnt. If thereafter the reference count is less than or equal to zero, the ID is freed. Any back-end resources associated with the freed ID may be freed, and if garbage collection was disabled for the object, it will be re-enabled. The sender of this command promises that no further commands will be sent referencing a freed ID.

    Use of this command is not required. If it is not sent, resources associated with each ID will be freed by the back-end at some time after the corresponding object is garbage collected. It is most useful to use this command to reduce the load on the back-end if a very large number of objects has been retrieved from the back-end (a large array, for example) but may not be garbage collected any time soon.

    IDs may be re-used by the back-end after they have been freed with this command.This description assumes reference counting, a back-end may use any implementation which operates equivalently.

    Out Data
    intrequestsNumber of object dispose requests that follow 
    Repeated requests times:

    intrefCntThe number of times this object ID has been part of a packet received from the back-end. An accurate count prevents the object ID from being freed on the back-end if it is part of an incoming packet, not yet handled by the front-end.

    HoldEvents Command (15)
    Tells the target VM to stop sending events. Events are not discarded; they are held until a subsequent ReleaseEvents command is sent. This command is useful to control the number of events sent to the debugger VM in situations where very large numbers of events are generated. While events are held by the debugger back-end, application execution may be frozen by the debugger back-end to prevent buffer overflows on the back end. Responses to commands are never held and are not affected by this command. If events are already being held, this command is ignored.

    RedefineClasses Command (18)
    Installs new class definitions. If there are active stack frames in methods of the redefined classes in the target VM then those active frames continue to run the bytecodes of the original method. These methods are considered obsolete - see IsObsolete. The methods in the redefined classes will be used for new invokes in the target VM. The original method ID refers to the redefined method. All breakpoints in the redefined classes are cleared.If resetting of stack frames is desired, the PopFrames command can be used to pop frames with obsolete methods.

    Requires canRedefineClasses capability - see CapabilitiesNew. In addition to the canRedefineClasses capability, the target VM must have the canAddMethod capability to add methods when redefining classes, or the canUnrestrictedlyRedefineClasses to redefine classes in arbitrary ways.

    InvokeMethod Command (3)
    Invokes a static method. The method must be member of the class type or one of its superclasses, superinterfaces, or implemented interfaces. Access control is not enforced; for example, private methods can be invoked.

    The method invocation will occur in the specified thread. Method invocation can occur only if the specified thread has been suspended by an event. Method invocation is not supported when the target VM has been suspended by the front-end.

    The specified method is invoked with the arguments in the specified argument list. The method invocation is synchronous; the reply packet is not sent until the invoked method returns in the target VM. The return value (possibly the void value) is included in the reply packet. If the invoked method throws an exception, the exception object ID is set in the reply packet; otherwise, the exception object ID is null.

    For primitive arguments, the argument value's type must match the argument's type exactly. For object arguments, there must exist a widening reference conversion from the argument value's type to the argument's type and the argument's type must be loaded.

    By default, all threads in the target VM are resumed while the method is being invoked if they were previously suspended by an event or by command. This is done to prevent the deadlocks that will occur if any of the threads own monitors that will be needed by the invoked method. It is possible that breakpoints or other events might occur during the invocation. Note, however, that this implicit resume acts exactly like the ThreadReference resume command, so if the thread's suspend count is greater than 1, it will remain in a suspended state during the invocation. By default, when the invocation completes, all threads in the target VM are suspended, regardless their state before the invocation.

    The resumption of other threads during the invoke can be prevented by specifying the INVOKE_SINGLE_THREADED bit flag in the options field; however, there is no protection against or recovery from the deadlocks described above, so this option should be used with great caution. Only the specified thread will be resumed (as described for all threads above). Upon completion of a single threaded invoke, the invoking thread will be suspended once again. Note that any threads started during the single threaded invocation will not be suspended when the invocation completes.

    If the target VM is disconnected during the invoke (for example, through the VirtualMachine dispose command) the method invocation continues.

    NewInstance Command (4)
    Creates a new object of this type, invoking the specified constructor. The constructor method ID must be a member of the class type.

    Instance creation will occur in the specified thread. Instance creation can occur only if the specified thread has been suspended by an event. Method invocation is not supported when the target VM has been suspended by the front-end.

    The specified constructor is invoked with the arguments in the specified argument list. The constructor invocation is synchronous; the reply packet is not sent until the invoked method returns in the target VM. The return value (possibly the void value) is included in the reply packet. If the constructor throws an exception, the exception object ID is set in the reply packet; otherwise, the exception object ID is null.

    For primitive arguments, the argument value's type must match the argument's type exactly. For object arguments, there must exist a widening reference conversion from the argument value's type to the argument's type and the argument's type must be loaded.

    By default, all threads in the target VM are resumed while the method is being invoked if they were previously suspended by an event or by command.

    InvokeMethod Command (6)
    Invokes a instance method. The method must be member of the object's type or one of its superclasses, superinterfaces, or implemented interfaces. Access control is not enforced; for example, private methods can be invoked.

    The method invocation will occur in the specified thread. Method invocation can occur only if the specified thread has been suspended by an event. Method invocation is not supported when the target VM has been suspended by the front-end.

    The specified method is invoked with the arguments in the specified argument list. The method invocation is synchronous; the reply packet is not sent until the invoked method returns in the target VM. The return value (possibly the void value) is included in the reply packet. If the invoked method throws an exception, the exception object ID is set in the reply packet; otherwise, the exception object ID is null.

    DisableCollection Command (7)
    Prevents garbage collection for the given object. By default all objects in back-end replies may be collected at any time the target VM is running. A call to this command guarantees that the object will not be collected. The EnableCollection command can be used to allow collection once again.

    Note that while the target VM is suspended, no garbage collection will occur because all threads are suspended. The typical examination of variables, fields, and arrays during the suspension is safe without explicitly disabling garbage collection.

    This method should be used sparingly, as it alters the pattern of garbage collection in the target VM and, consequently, may result in application behavior under the debugger that differs from its non-debugged behavior.

    Suspend Command (2)
    Suspends the thread.

    Unlike java.lang.Thread.suspend(), suspends of both the virtual machine and individual threads are counted. Before a thread will run again, it must be resumed the same number of times it has been suspended.

    Suspending single threads with command has the same dangers java.lang.Thread.suspend(). If the suspended thread holds a monitor needed by another running thread, deadlock is possible in the target VM (at least until the suspended thread is resumed again).

    The suspended thread is guaranteed to remain suspended until resumed through one of the JDI resume methods mentioned above; the application in the target VM cannot resume the suspended thread through {@link java.lang.Thread#resume}.

    Note that this doesn't change the status of the thread (see the ThreadStatus command.) For example, if it was Running, it will still appear running to other threads.

    ForceEarlyReturn Command (14)
    Force a method to return before it reaches a return statement.

    The method which will return early is referred to as the called method. The called method is the current method (as defined by the Frames section in the Java Virtual Machine Specification) for the specified thread at the time this command is received.

    The specified thread must be suspended. The return occurs when execution of Java programming language code is resumed on this thread. Between sending this command and resumption of thread execution, the state of the stack is undefined.

    No further instructions are executed in the called method. Specifically, finally blocks are not executed. Note: this can cause inconsistent states in the application.

    A lock acquired by calling the called method (if it is a synchronized method) and locks acquired by entering synchronized blocks within the called method are released. Note: this does not apply to JNI locks or java.util.concurrent.locks locks.

    Events, such as MethodExit, are generated as they would be in a normal return.

    The called method must be a non-native Java programming language method. Forcing return on a thread with only one frame on the stack causes the thread to exit when resumed.

    For void methods, the value must be a void value. For methods that return primitive values, the value's type must match the return type exactly. For object values, there must be a widening reference conversion from the value's type to the return type type and the return type must be loaded.

    Since JDWP version 1.6. Requires canForceEarlyReturn capability - see CapabilitiesNew.

    EventRequest Command Set (15)

    Set Command (1)
    Set an event request. When the event described by this request occurs, an event is sent from the target VM. If an event occurs that has not been requested then it is not sent from the target VM. The two exceptions to this are the VM Start Event and the VM Death Event which are automatically generated events - see Composite Command for further details.
    Out Data
    byteeventKindEvent kind to request. See JDWP.EventKind for a complete list of events that can be requested.  
    bytesuspendPolicyWhat threads are suspended when this event occurs? Note that the order of events and command replies accurately reflects the order in which threads are suspended and resumed. For example, if a VM-wide resume is processed before an event occurs which suspends the VM, the reply to the resume command will be written to the transport before the suspending event. 
    intmodifiersConstraints used to control the number of generated events.Modifiers specify additional tests that an event must satisfy before it is placed in the event queue. Events are filtered by applying each modifier to an event in the order they are specified in this collection Only events that satisfy all modifiers are reported. A value of 0 means there are no modifiers in the request.

    Filtering can improve debugger performance dramatically by reducing the amount of event traffic sent from the target VM to the debugger VM.  

    Repeated modifiers times:
    bytemodKindModifier kind 
    Case Count - if modKind is 1: Limit the requested event to be reported at most once after a given number of occurrences. The event is not reported the first count - 1 times this filter is reached. To request a one-off event, call this method with a count of 1.

    Once the count reaches 0, any subsequent filters in this request are applied. If none of those filters cause the event to be suppressed, the event is reported. Otherwise, the event is not reported. In either case subsequent events are never reported for this request. This modifier can be used with any event kind. 

    intcountCount before event. One for one-off. 
    Case Conditional - if modKind is 2: Conditional on expression 
    intexprIDFor the future 
    Case ThreadOnly - if modKind is 3: Restricts reported events to those in the given thread. This modifier can be used with any event kind except for class unload.  
    threadIDthreadRequired thread 
    Case ClassOnly - if modKind is 4: For class prepare events, restricts the events generated by this request to be the preparation of the given reference type and any subtypes. For monitor wait and waited events, restricts the events generated by this request to those whose monitor object is of the given reference type or any of its subtypes. For other events, restricts the events generated by this request to those whose location is in the given reference type or any of its subtypes. An event will be generated for any location in a reference type that can be safely cast to the given reference type. This modifier can be used with any event kind except class unload, thread start, and thread end.  
    referenceTypeIDclazzRequired class 
    Case ClassMatch - if modKind is 5: Restricts reported events to those for classes whose name matches the given restricted regular expression. For class prepare events, the prepared class name is matched. For class unload events, the unloaded class name is matched. For monitor wait and waited events, the name of the class of the monitor object is matched. For other events, the class name of the event's location is matched. This modifier can be used with any event kind except thread start and thread end.  
    stringclassPatternRequired class pattern. Matches are limited to exact matches of the given class pattern and matches of patterns that begin or end with '*'; for example, "*.Foo" or "java.*".  
    Case ClassExclude - if modKind is 6: Restricts reported events to those for classes whose name does not match the given restricted regular expression. For class prepare events, the prepared class name is matched. For class unload events, the unloaded class name is matched. For monitor wait and waited events, the name of the class of the monitor object is matched. For other events, the class name of the event's location is matched. This modifier can be used with any event kind except thread start and thread end.  
    stringclassPatternDisallowed class pattern. Matches are limited to exact matches of the given class pattern and matches of patterns that begin or end with '*'; for example, "*.Foo" or "java.*".  
    Case LocationOnly - if modKind is 7: Restricts reported events to those that occur at the given location. This modifier can be used with breakpoint, field access, field modification, step, and exception event kinds.  
    locationlocRequired location 
    Case ExceptionOnly - if modKind is 8: Restricts reported exceptions by their class and whether they are caught or uncaught. This modifier can be used with exception event kinds only.  
    referenceTypeIDexceptionOrNullException to report. Null (0) means report exceptions of all types. A non-null type restricts the reported exception events to exceptions of the given type or any of its subtypes.  
    booleancaughtReport caught exceptions 
    booleanuncaughtReport uncaught exceptions. Note that it is not always possible to determine whether an exception is caught or uncaught at the time it is thrown. See the exception event catch location under composite events for more information.  
    Case FieldOnly - if modKind is 9: Restricts reported events to those that occur for a given field. This modifier can be used with field access and field modification event kinds only.  
    referenceTypeIDdeclaringType in which field is declared. 
    fieldIDfieldIDRequired field 
    Case Step - if modKind is 10: Restricts reported step events to those which satisfy depth and size constraints. This modifier can be used with step event kinds only.  
    threadIDthreadThread in which to step 
    intsizesize of each step. See JDWP.StepSize 
    intdepthrelative call stack limit. See JDWP.StepDepth 
    Case InstanceOnly - if modKind is 11: Restricts reported events to those whose active 'this' object is the given object. Match value is the null object for static methods. This modifier can be used with any event kind except class prepare, class unload, thread start, and thread end. Introduced in JDWP version 1.4. 
    objectIDinstanceRequired 'this' object 
    Case SourceNameMatch - if modKind is 12: Restricts reported class prepare events to those for reference types which have a source name which matches the given restricted regular expression. The source names are determined by the reference type's SourceDebugExtension. This modifier can only be used with class prepare events. Since JDWP version 1.6. Requires the canUseSourceNameFilters capability - see CapabilitiesNew
    stringsourceNamePatternRequired source name pattern. Matches are limited to exact matches of the given pattern and matches of patterns that begin or end with '*'; for example, "*.Foo" or "java.*".

    Event Command Set (64)

    Composite Command (100)
    Several events may occur at a given time in the target VM. For example, there may be more than one breakpoint request for a given location or you might single step to the same location as a breakpoint request. These events are delivered together as a composite event. For uniformity, a composite event is always used to deliver events, even if there is only one event to report.

    The events that are grouped in a composite event are restricted in the following ways:

    The VM Start Event and VM Death Event are automatically generated events. This means they do not need to be requested using the EventRequest.Set command. The VM Start event signals the completion of VM initialization. The VM Death event signals the termination of the VM.If there is a debugger connected at the time when an automatically generated event occurs it is sent from the target VM. Automatically generated events may also be requested using the EventRequest.Set command and thus multiple events of the same event kind will be sent from the target VM when an event occurs.Automatically generated events are sent with the requestID field in the Event Data set to 0. The value of the suspendPolicy field in the Event Data depends on the event. For the automatically generated VM Start Event the value of suspendPolicy is not defined and is therefore implementation or configuration specific. In the Sun implementation, for example, the suspendPolicy is specified as an option to the JDWP agent at launch-time.The automatically generated VM Death Event will have the suspendPolicy set to NONE.

    inteventsEvents in set. 
    Repeated events times:
    byteeventKindEvent kind selector 
    Case VMStart - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.VM_START: Notification of initialization of a target VM. This event is received before the main thread is started and before any application code has been executed. Before this event occurs a significant amount of system code has executed and a number of system classes have been loaded. This event is always generated by the target VM, even if not explicitly requested. 
    intrequestIDRequest that generated event (or 0 if this event is automatically generated. 
    threadIDthreadInitial thread 
    Case SingleStep - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.SINGLE_STEP: Notification of step completion in the target VM. The step event is generated before the code at its location is executed.  
    intrequestIDRequest that generated event 
    threadIDthreadStepped thread 
    locationlocationLocation stepped to 
    Case Breakpoint - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.BREAKPOINT: Notification of a breakpoint in the target VM. The breakpoint event is generated before the code at its location is executed.  
    intrequestIDRequest that generated event 
    threadIDthreadThread which hit breakpoint 
    locationlocationLocation hit 
    Case MethodEntry - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.METHOD_ENTRY: Notification of a method invocation in the target VM. This event is generated before any code in the invoked method has executed. Method entry events are generated for both native and non-native methods.

    In some VMs method entry events can occur for a particular thread before its thread start event occurs if methods are called as part of the thread's initialization.  

    intrequestIDRequest that generated event 
    threadIDthreadThread which entered method 
    locationlocationThe initial executable location in the method. 
    Case MethodExit - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.METHOD_EXIT: Notification of a method return in the target VM. This event is generated after all code in the method has executed, but the location of this event is the last executed location in the method. Method exit events are generated for both native and non-native methods. Method exit events are not generated if the method terminates with a thrown exception.  
    intrequestIDRequest that generated event 
    threadIDthreadThread which exited method 
    locationlocationLocation of exit 
    Case MethodExitWithReturnValue - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.METHOD_EXIT_WITH_RETURN_VALUE: Notification of a method return in the target VM. This event is generated after all code in the method has executed, but the location of this event is the last executed location in the method. Method exit events are generated for both native and non-native methods. Method exit events are not generated if the method terminates with a thrown exception.

    Since JDWP version 1.6.

    valuevalueValue that will be returned by the method 
    Case MonitorContendedEnter - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.MONITOR_CONTENDED_ENTER: Notification that a thread in the target VM is attempting to enter a monitor that is already acquired by another thread.

    Since JDWP version 1.6.  

    intrequestIDRequest that generated event 
    threadIDthreadThread which is trying to enter the monitor 
    tagged-objectIDobjectMonitor object reference 
    locationlocationLocation of contended monitor enter 
    Case MonitorContendedEntered - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.MONITOR_CONTENDED_ENTERED: Notification of a thread in the target VM is entering a monitor after waiting for it to be released by another thread.

    Since JDWP version 1.6.  

    intrequestIDRequest that generated event 
    threadIDthreadThread which entered monitor 
    tagged-objectIDobjectMonitor object reference

    Case MonitorWait - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.MONITOR_WAIT: Notification of a thread about to wait on a monitor object.

    Since JDWP version 1.6.  

    intrequestIDRequest that generated event 
    threadIDthreadThread which is about to wait 
    tagged-objectIDobjectMonitor object reference

    longtimeoutThread wait time in milliseconds 
    Case MonitorWaited - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.MONITOR_WAITED: Notification that a thread in the target VM has finished waiting on a monitor object.

    Since JDWP version 1.6.  

    intrequestIDRequest that generated event 
    threadIDthreadThread which waited 
    tagged-objectIDobjectMonitor object reference 
    locationlocationLocation at which the wait occured 
    booleantimed_outTrue if timed out 
    Case Exception - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.EXCEPTION: Notification of an exception in the target VM. If the exception is thrown from a non-native method, the exception event is generated at the location where the exception is thrown. If the exception is thrown from a native method, the exception event is generated at the first non-native location reached after the exception is thrown.  
    intrequestIDRequest that generated event 
    threadIDthreadThread with exception 
    locationlocationLocation of exception throw (or first non-native location after throw if thrown from a native method) 
    tagged-objectIDexceptionThrown exception 
    locationcatchLocationLocation of catch, or 0 if not caught. An exception is considered to be caught if, at the point of the throw, the current location is dynamically enclosed in a try statement that handles the exception. (See the JVM specification for details). If there is such a try statement, the catch location is the first location in the appropriate catch clause.

    If there are native methods in the call stack at the time of the exception, there are important restrictions to note about the returned catch location. In such cases, it is not possible to predict whether an exception will be handled by some native method on the call stack. Thus, it is possible that exceptions considered uncaught here will, in fact, be handled by a native method and not cause termination of the target VM. Furthermore, it cannot be assumed that the catch location returned here will ever be reached by the throwing thread. If there is a native frame between the current location and the catch location, the exception might be handled and cleared in that native method instead.

    Note that compilers can generate try-catch blocks in some cases where they are not explicit in the source code; for example, the code generated for synchronized and finally blocks can contain implicit try-catch blocks. If such an implicitly generated try-catch is present on the call stack at the time of the throw, the exception will be considered caught even though it appears to be uncaught from examination of the source code.  

    Case ThreadStart - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.THREAD_START: Notification of a new running thread in the target VM. The new thread can be the result of a call to java.lang.Thread.start or the result of attaching a new thread to the VM though JNI. The notification is generated by the new thread some time before its execution starts. Because of this timing, it is possible to receive other events for the thread before this event is received. (Notably, Method Entry Events and Method Exit Events might occur during thread initialization. It is also possible for the VirtualMachine AllThreads command to return a thread before its thread start event is received.

    Note that this event gives no information about the creation of the thread object which may have happened much earlier, depending on the VM being debugged.  

    intrequestIDRequest that generated event 
    threadIDthreadStarted thread 
    Case ThreadDeath - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.THREAD_DEATH: Notification of a completed thread in the target VM. The notification is generated by the dying thread before it terminates. Because of this timing, it is possible for {@link VirtualMachine#allThreads} to return this thread after this event is received.

    Note that this event gives no information about the lifetime of the thread object. It may or may not be collected soon depending on what references exist in the target VM.  

    intrequestIDRequest that generated event 
    threadIDthreadEnding thread 
    Case ClassPrepare - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.CLASS_PREPARE: Notification of a class prepare in the target VM. See the JVM specification for a definition of class preparation. Class prepare events are not generated for primtiive classes (for example, java.lang.Integer.TYPE).  
    intrequestIDRequest that generated event 
    threadIDthreadPreparing thread. In rare cases, this event may occur in a debugger system thread within the target VM. Debugger threads take precautions to prevent these events, but they cannot be avoided under some conditions, especially for some subclasses of java.lang.Error. If the event was generated by a debugger system thread, the value returned by this method is null, and if the requested suspend policy for the event was EVENT_THREAD all threads will be suspended instead, and the composite event's suspend policy will reflect this change.

    Note that the discussion above does not apply to system threads created by the target VM during its normal (non-debug) operation.

    Case ClassUnload - if eventKind is JDWP.EventKind.CLASS_UNLOAD: Notification of a class unload in the target VM.

    There are severe constraints on the debugger back-end during garbage collection, so unload information is greatly limited.
