==Java Debugger Interface (JDI)==

JDI is the highest-layer of the Java Platform Debugger Architecture. It allows to access the [[Java virtual machine|JVM]] and the internal variables of the debugged program. It also allows to set [[breakpoint]]s, [[stepping (debugging)|stepping]], and handle threads.<ref>{{cite web
