*
* <p> Connectors are created at start-up time. That is, they
* are created the first time that {@link
* com.sun.jdi.Bootstrap#virtualMachineManager()} is invoked.
* The list of all Connectors created at start-up time can be
* obtained from the VirtualMachineManager by invoking the
* {@link #allConnectors allConnectors} method.
*
* <p> Connectors are created at start-up time if they are
* installed on the platform. In addition, Connectors are created
* automatically by the VirtualMachineManager to encapsulate any
* {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService} implementations
* that are installed on the platform. These two mechanisms for
* creating Connectors are described here.
*
* <p> A Connector is installed on the platform if it is installed
* in a jar file that is visible to the defining class loader of
* the {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector} type,
* and that jar file contains a provider configuration file named
* <tt>com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector in the resource directory
* <tt>META-INF/services, and the provider configuration file
* lists the full-qualified class name of the Connector
* implementation. A Connector is a class that implements the
* {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector Connector} interface. More
* appropriately the class implements one of the specific Connector
* types, namely {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.AttachingConnector
* AttachingConnector}, {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.ListeningConnector
* ListeningConnector}, or {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.LaunchingConnector
* LaunchingConnector}. The format of the provider configuration file
* is one fully-qualified class name per line. Space and tab characters
* surrounding each class, as well as blank lines are ignored. The
* comment character is <tt>'#' (
0x23), and on each
* line all characters following the first comment character are
* ignored. The file must be encoded in UTF-8.
*
* <p> At start-up time the VirtualMachineManager attempts to load
* and instantiate (using the no-arg constructor) each class listed
* in the provider configuration file. Exceptions thrown when loading
* or creating the Connector are caught and ignored. In other words,
* the start-up process continues despite of errors.
*
* <p> In addition to Connectors installed on the platform the
* VirtualMachineManager will also create Connectors to encapsulate
* any {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService} implementations
* that are installed on the platform. A TransportService is
* installed on the platform if it installed in a jar file that is
* visible to the defining class loader for the
* {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService} type, and that jar
* file contains a provider configuration file named
* <tt>com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService in the resource
* directory <tt>META-INF/services, and the provider
* configuration file lists the the full-qualified class name of the
* TransportService implementation. A TransportService is a concrete
* sub-class of {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService
* TransportService}. The format of the provider configuration file
* is the same as the provider configuration file for Connectors
* except that each class listed must be the fully-qualified class
* name of a class that implements the TransportService interface.
*
* <p> For each TransportService installed on the platform, the
* VirtualMachineManager creates a corresponding
* {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.AttachingConnector} and
* {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.ListeningConnector}. These
* Connectors are created to encapsulate a {@link
* com.sun.jdi.connect.Transport Transport} that in turn
* encapsulates the TransportService.
* The AttachingConnector will be named based on the name of the
* transport service concatenated with the string <tt>Attach.
* For example, if the transport service {@link
* com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService#name() name()} method
* returns <tt>telepathic then the AttachingConnector will
* be named <tt>telepathicAttach. Similiarly the ListeningConnector
* will be named with the string <tt>Listen tagged onto the
* name of the transport service. The {@link
* com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector#description() description()} method
* of both the AttachingConnector, and the ListeningConnector, will
* delegate to the {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService#description()
* description()} method of the underlying transport service. Both
* the AttachingConnector and the ListeningConnector will have two
* Connector {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector$Argument Arguments}.
* A {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector$StringArgument StringArgument}
* named <tt>address is the connector argument to specify the
* address to attach too, or to listen on. A
* {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector$IntegerArgument IntegerArgument}
* named <tt>timeout is the connector argument to specify the
* timeout when attaching, or accepting. The timeout connector may be
* ignored depending on if the transport service supports an attach
* timeout or accept timeout.
*
* <p> Initialization of the virtual machine manager will fail, that is
* {@link com.sun.jdi.Bootstrap#virtualMachineManager()} will throw an
* error if the virtual machine manager is unable to create any
* connectors.
