31  * A connection between a debugger and a target VM which it debugs.
32  *
33  * <p> A Connection represents a bi-directional communication channel
34  * between a debugger and a target VM. A Connection is created when
35  * {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService TransportService}
36  * establishes a connection and successfully handshakes with a target
37  * VM. A TransportService implementation provides a reliable
38  * JDWP packet transportation service and consequently a Connection
39  * provides a reliable flow of JDWP packets between the debugger
40  * and the target VM. A Connection is stream oriented, that is, the
41  * JDWP packets written to a connection are read by the target VM
42  * in the order in which they were written. Similiarly packets written
43  * to a Connection by the target VM are read by the debugger in the
44  * order in which they were written.
45  *
46  * <p> A connection is either open or closed. It is open upon creation,
47  * and remains open until it is closed. Once closed, it remains closed,
48  * and any attempt to invoke an I/O operation upon it will cause a
49  * {@link ClosedConnectionException} to be thrown. A connection can
50  * be tested by invoking the {@link #isOpen isOpen} method.
51  *
52  * <p> A Connection is safe for access by multiple concurrent threads,
53  * although at most one thread may be reading and at most one thread may
54  * be writing at any given time. </p>
