Interface VirtualMachine

All Known Implementing Classes:

VirtualMachine.ForHotSpot, VirtualMachine.ForHotSpot.OnUnix

public interface VirtualMachine

An implementation for attachment on a virtual machine. This interface mimics the tooling API's virtual machine interface to allow for similar usage by ByteBuddyAgent where all calls are made via reflection such that this structural typing suffices for interoperability.

Note: Implementations are required to declare a static method attach(String) returning an instance of a class that declares the methods defined by VirtualMachine.
