The JavaTM
Debug Interface (JDI) is a high level Java
API providing information useful for debuggers and similiar
systems needing access to the running state of a (usually remote)
virtual machine.
This is the core package of the Java Debugging
Interface (JDI), it defines mirrors for values, types, and the target
VirtualMachine itself - as well bootstrapping facilities.
This package is used to request that a JDI
event be sent under specified conditions.

The JDI provides introspective
access to a running virtual machine's state, Class, Array,
Interface, and primitive types, and instances of those
types.
The JDI also provides explicit control over
a virtual machine's execution. The ability to suspend
