     * specified method must be defined in this interface.

     * The method must be a static method

     * but not a static initializer.

     * <p>

     * The method invocation will occur in the specified thread.

     * Method invocation can occur only if the specified thread

     * has been suspended by an event which occurred in that thread.

     * Method invocation is not supported

     * when the target VM has been suspended through

     * {@link VirtualMachine#suspend} or when the specified thread

     * is suspended through {@link ThreadReference#suspend}.

     * <p>

     * The specified method is invoked with the arguments in the specified

     * argument list.  The method invocation is synchronous; this method

     * does not return until the invoked method returns in the target VM.

     * If the invoked method throws an exception, this method will throw

     * an {@link InvocationException} which contains a mirror to the exception

     * object thrown.

     * <p>

     * Object arguments must be assignment compatible with the argument type

     * (This implies that the argument type must be loaded through the

     * enclosing class' class loader). Primitive arguments must be

     * either assignment compatible with the argument type or must be

     * convertible to the argument type without loss of information.

     * If the method being called accepts a variable number of arguments,

     * then the last argument type is an array of some component type.

     * The argument in the matching position can be omitted, or can be null,

     * an array of the same component type, or an argument of the

     * component type followed by any number of other arguments of the same

     * type. If the argument is omitted, then a 0 length array of the

     * component type is passed.  The component type can be a primitive type.

     * Autoboxing is not supported.

     *

     * See Section 5.2 of

     * <cite>The Java&trade; Language Specification</cite>

     * for more information on assignment compatibility.

     * <p>

     * 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 {@link VirtualMachine#suspend} or

     * {@link ThreadReference#suspend}. 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.

     * Note, however, that this implicit resume acts exactly like

     * {@link ThreadReference#resume}, so if the thread's suspend

     * count is greater than 1, it will remain in a suspended state

     * during the invocation and thus a deadlock could still occur.

     * By default, when the invocation completes,

     * all threads in the target VM are suspended, regardless their state

     * before the invocation.

     * It is possible that

     * breakpoints or other events might occur during the invocation.

     * This can cause deadlocks as described above. It can also cause a deadlock

     * if invokeMethod is called from the client's event handler thread.  In this

     * case, this thread will be waiting for the invokeMethod to complete and

     * won't read the EventSet that comes in for the new event.  If this

     * new EventSet is SUSPEND_ALL, then a deadlock will occur because no

     * one will resume the EventSet.  To avoid this, all EventRequests should

     * be disabled before doing the invokeMethod, or the invokeMethod should

     * not be done from the client's event handler thread.

     * <p>

     * The resumption of other threads during the invocation can be prevented

     * bit flag in the <code>options</code> argument; 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.

     * <p>

     * If the target VM is disconnected during the invoke (for example, through

     * {@link VirtualMachine#dispose}) the method invocation continues.

     *

     * @param thread the thread in which to invoke.

     * @param method the {@link Method} to invoke.

     * @param arguments the list of {@link Value} arguments bound to the

     * invoked method. Values from the list are assigned to arguments

     * in the order they appear in the method signature.

     * @param options the integer bit flag options.

     * @return a {@link Value} mirror of the invoked method's return value.

     * @throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the method is not

     * a member of this interface, if the size of the argument list

     * does not match the number of declared arguments for the method, or

     * if the method is not static or is a static initializer.

     * @throws {@link InvalidTypeException} if any argument in the

     * argument list is not assignable to the corresponding method argument

     * type.

     * @throws ClassNotLoadedException if any argument type has not yet been loaded

     * through the appropriate class loader.

     * @throws IncompatibleThreadStateException if the specified thread has not

     * been suspended by an event.

     * @throws InvocationException if the method invocation resulted in

     * an exception in the target VM.

     * @throws InvalidTypeException If the arguments do not meet this requirement --

     *         Object arguments must be assignment compatible with the argument

     *         type.  This implies that the argument type must be
