Java™ Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA)

The Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA) consists of three interfaces designed for use by debuggers in development environments for desktop systems. The Java Virtual Machine Tools Interface (JVM TI) defines the services a VM must provide for debugging (JVM TI is a replacement for the Java Virtual Machine Debug Interface (JVMDI) which has been removed). The Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) defines the format of information and requests transferred between the process being debugged and the debugger front end, which implements the Java Debug Interface (JDI). The Java Debug Interface defines information and requests at the user code level.
