+ * DECSRIPTION
+ * A positive test for the 'exclude' command.
+ * The debuggee program (exclude001a.java) starts three
+ * addional threads of MyThread class. The 'run' method of these
+ * threads invokes java.lang.System.currentTimeMillis() and
+ * com.sun.jdi.Bootstrap.virtualMachineManager() methods.
+ * There are three test cases:
+ *  - block all exclude filter;
+ *  - modified exclude filter allowing tracing events for java.* methods,
+ *    which is set with 'exclude javax.*,sun.*,com.sun.*,jdk.*' command;
+ *  - modified exclude filter allowing tracing events for com.sun.* methods,
+ *    which is set with 'exclude java.*,javax.*,sun.*,jdk.*' command.
+ *  - non-modified, predefined exclude filter;
+ *  - modified exclude filter allowing tracing events for java.* methods,
+ *    which is set with 'exclude javax.*,sun.*,com.sun.*' command;
+ *  - modified exclude filter allowing tracing events for all system methods,
+ *    which is set with 'exclude none' command.
+ * For each test case the correspondent MyThread thread is started and
+ * suspended at a breakpoint. Then method tracing is turned on with
+ * 'trace methods <thread id>' command with correspondent exclude filtering.
+ * The test passes if debuggee suspends on method enter/exit of only
+ * filtered classes, i.e. in comply with exclude filter previously set.
+ * The test consists of two program:
+ *   exclude001.java - launches jdb and debuggee, writes commands to jdb, reads the jdb output,
+ *   exclude001a.java - the debugged application.
