Re: [jdt-debug-dev] JDWP specification not completely used?

[Darin Wright <Darin_Wright@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It looks like these commands are not
used as they are not required by our JDI implementation. They are present
in our JDWP constants for completeness.

We have never doc'd nor determined which
JDWP commands are/are not used - you are the first to discover this. Currently,
we don't have any plans to use these commands - however, I presume any
JDWP implementation (back end) should be robust enough to reject unknown
commands.

Subject	[jdt-debug-dev] JDWP specification not completely used?

Hi,
       We're developing a JDWP that will only be used with
the Eclipse Debugger. We have a few commands & events implemented so
far, and things are
working great! 
       However it looks like the Eclipse debugger doesn't
use the full JDWP specification. For example the following commands don't
seem to be used
anywhere in you code:

JdwpCommandPacket.VM_CLASS_PATHS
JdwpCommandPacket.VM_DISPOSE_OBJECTS
JdwpCommandPacket.VM_HOLD_EVENTS
JdwpCommandPacket.VM_RELEASE_EVENTS
JdwpCommandPacket.RT_NESTED_TYPES
JdwpCommandPacket.M_OBSOLETE

                
To start we'd only like to implement the parts of the JDWP that eclipse
debugger uses, is there any documentation anywhere on what JDWP
commands & events are used and which ones are not? I haven't been able
to find any.
       Any direction would be appreciated, 
       
Thanks,
-Brandon

P.S. has any body found the JDWP Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK)?
