This package defines JDI events and event processing.

    32
An {@link com.sun.jdi.event.Event} is always a member of an 
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    33
{@link com.sun.jdi.event.EventSet}, which
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    34
is retrieved from the {@link com.sun.jdi.event.EventQueue}. 
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    35
Examples of Events include
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:

    36
{@link com.sun.jdi.event.BreakpointEvent "breakpoints events"}, 
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    37
{@link com.sun.jdi.event.ThreadStartEvent "thread creation events"} and 
90ce3da70b43 Initial load

90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:
diff changeset
    41
{@link com.sun.jdi.request.EventRequest "EventRequest"}.  The 
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
duke
parents:

    42
{@link com.sun.jdi.request} package defines event requests and event
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
