30 /**
31  * Manager of incoming debugger events for a target VM.
32  * Events are always grouped in {@link EventSet}s.
33  * EventSets generated by the debugger back end can be read
34  * here. There is one instance of EventQueue assigned to a particular
35  * {@link com.sun.jdi.VirtualMachine VirtualMachine}.
36  * <P>
37  * Some events cause the suspension of the target VM - event requests
38  * ({@link com.sun.jdi.request}) with a
39  * {@link com.sun.jdi.request.EventRequest#suspendPolicy() suspend policy}
40  * of {@link com.sun.jdi.request.EventRequest#SUSPEND_ALL SUSPEND_ALL}
41  * or {@link com.sun.jdi.request.EventRequest#SUSPEND_EVENT_THREAD
42  * SUSPEND_EVENT_THREAD} and sometimes
43  * {@link VMStartEvent}.
44  * If these suspensions are not resumed the target VM will hang.
45  * Thus, it is always good policy to
46  * {@link #remove() remove()} every EventSet from the
47  * event queue until an EventSet containing a
48  * {@link VMDisconnectEvent} is read.
49  * Unless {@link com.sun.jdi.VirtualMachine#resume() resume} is
50  * being handled in another way, each EventSet should invoke
51  * {@link EventSet#resume()}.
