     * 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
     * by specifying the {@link ClassType#INVOKE_SINGLE_THREADED}
     * 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
