/**
 * Manager of incoming debugger events for a target VM.
 * Events are always grouped in {@link EventSet}s.
 * EventSets generated by the debugger back end can be read
 * here. There is one instance of EventQueue assigned to a particular
 * {@link com.sun.jdi.VirtualMachine VirtualMachine}.
 * <P>
 * Some events cause the suspension of the target VM - event requests
 * ({@link com.sun.jdi.request}) with a
 * {@link com.sun.jdi.request.EventRequest#suspendPolicy() suspend policy}
 * of {@link com.sun.jdi.request.EventRequest#SUSPEND_ALL SUSPEND_ALL}
 * or {@link com.sun.jdi.request.EventRequest#SUSPEND_EVENT_THREAD
 * SUSPEND_EVENT_THREAD} and sometimes
 * {@link VMStartEvent}.
 * If these suspensions are not resumed the target VM will hang.
 * Thus, it is always good policy to
 * {@link #remove() remove()} every EventSet from the
 * event queue until an EventSet containing a
 * {@link VMDisconnectEvent} is read.
 * Unless {@link com.sun.jdi.VirtualMachine#resume() resume} is
 * being handled in another way, each EventSet should invoke
 * {@link EventSet#resume()}.
