  ##### 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

    int | requests | Number of object dispose requests that follow
    Repeated requests times:
    | objectID | object | The object ID
    | int | refCnt | The 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.

  Error Data
    (None)

  ##### 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.

  Reply Data
    (None)
  Error Data

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.

    INVALID_FIELDID | Invalid field.
    VM_DEAD | The virtual machine is not running.

  ##### 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.

  Out Data

    classID | clazz | The class type ID.

  ##### 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. 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.

  ##### 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.

  For primitive arguments, the argument value's type must match the argument's type exactly. For object arguments, there must be 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.

  ##### 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.

    objectID | object | The object ID

  Reply Data
    (None)
  Error Data

    INVALID_OBJECT | If this reference type has been unloaded and garbage collected.
    VM_DEAD | The virtual machine is not running.

  ##### EnableCollection Command (8)

  Permits garbage collection for this object. By default all objects returned by JDWP may become unreachable in the target VM, and hence may be garbage collected. A call to this command is necessary only if garbage collection was previously disabled with the DisableCollection command.

  Error Data

    INVALID_THREAD | Passed thread is null, is not a valid thread or has exited.
    INVALID_OBJECT | thread is not a known ID.
    VM_DEAD | The virtual machine is not running.

  ##### 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.

  #### 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

    byte | eventKind | Event kind to request. See JDWP.EventKind for a complete list of events that can be requested.
    byte | suspendPolicy | What 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.
    int | modifiers | Constraints 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:
    | byte | modKind | Modifier 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.
    | int | count | Count before event. One for one-off.
    | Case Conditional - if modKind is 2: | Conditional on expression
    | int | exprID | For 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.
    | threadID | thread | Required 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 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.
    | referenceTypeID | clazz | Required 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 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.
    | string | classPattern | Required 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 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.
    | string | classPattern | Disallowed 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.
    | location | loc | Required 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.
    | referenceTypeID | exceptionOrNull | Exception 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.
    | boolean | caught | Report caught exceptions
    | boolean | uncaught | Report 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.
    | referenceTypeID | declaring | Type in which field is declared.
    | fieldID | fieldID | Required 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.
    | threadID | thread | Thread in which to step
    | int | size | size of each step. See JDWP.StepSize
    | int | depth | relative 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.
    | objectID | instance | Required 'this' object

  #### StackFrame Command Set (16)

  ##### GetValues Command (1)

  Returns the value of one or more local variables in a given frame. Each variable must be visible at the frame's code index.

  ##### SetValues Command (2)

  Sets the value of one or more local variables. Each variable must be visible at the current frame code index. For primitive values, the value's type must match the variable's type exactly. For object values, there must be a widening reference conversion from the value's type to the variable's type and the variable's type must be loaded.

  Even if local variable information is not available, values can be set, if the front-end is able to determine the correct local variable index. (Typically, this index can be determined for method arguments from the method signature without access to the local variable table information.)

  ##### PopFrames Command (4)

  Pop the top-most stack frames of the thread stack, up to, and including 'frame'. The thread must be suspended to perform this command. The top-most stack frames are discarded and the stack frame previous to 'frame' becomes the current frame. The operand stack is restored -- the argument values are added back and if the invoke was not `invokestatic`, `objectref` is added back as well. The Java virtual machine program counter is restored to the opcode of the invoke instruction.

  #### 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:

  - Only with other thread start events for the same thread:
    - Thread Start Event
  - Only with other thread death events for the same thread:
    - Thread Death Event
  - Only with other class prepare events for the same class:
    - Class Prepare Event}
  - Only with other class unload events for the same class:
    - Class Unload Event
  - Only with other access watchpoint events for the same field access:
    - Access Watchpoint Event
  - Only with other modification watchpoint events for the same field modification:
    - Modification Watchpoint Event
  - Only with other ExceptionEvents for the same exception occurrance:
    - ExceptionEvent
  - Only with other members of this group, at the same location and in the same thread:
    - Breakpoint Event
    - Step Event
    - Method Entry Event
    - Method Exit Event

  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.

  Event Data

    byte | suspendPolicy | Which threads where suspended by this composite event?
    int | events | Events in set.
    Repeated events times:
    | byte | eventKind | Event 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.
    | int | requestID | Request that generated event (or 0 if this event is automatically generated.
    | threadID | thread | Initial 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.
    | int | requestID | Request that generated event
    | threadID | thread | Stepped thread
    | location | location | Location 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.
    | int | requestID | Request that generated event
    | threadID | thread | thread which hit breakpoint
    | location | location | Location 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.
    | int | requestID | Request that generated event
    | threadID | thread | thread which entered method
    | location | location | The 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.
    | int | requestID | Request that generated event
    | threadID | thread | thread which exited method
    | location | location | Location of exit
    | 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.
    | int | requestID | Request that generated event
    | threadID | thread | Thread with exception
    | location | location | Location of exception throw (or first non-native location after throw if thrown from a native method)
    | tagged-objectID | exception | Thrown exception
    | location | catchLocation | Location 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.
    | int | requestID | Request that generated event
    | threadID | thread | Started 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.
    | int | requestID | Request that generated event
    | threadID | thread | Ending 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).
    | int | requestID | Request that generated event
    | threadID | thread | Preparing 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.
