Java Platform Debugger Architecture

The Java Platform Debugger Architecture is a collection of APIs to debug Java code.

  • Java Debugger Interface (JDI) - defines a high-level Java language interface which developers can easily use to write remote debugger application tools.
  • Java Virtual Machine Tools Interface (JVMTI), a native interface which helps to inspect the state and to control the execution of applications running in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
  • Java Virtual Machine Debug Interface (JVMDI)- JVMDI was deprecated in J2SE 5.0 in favor of JVM TI, and was removed in Java SE 6.
  • Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) - defines communication between debuggee (a Java application) and debugger processes.

Famous quotes containing the words platform and/or architecture:

    I have rather a strange objection to talking from the back platform of a train.... It changes too often. It moves around and shifts its ground too often. I like a platform that stays put.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.
    Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
