Interface Debugger

All Known Subinterfaces:

AspectDebugger, ChangeDebugger, ExpressionDebugger

public interface Debugger

A base interface for debugger interfaces. This interface allows to define specialized debugger interfaces by different program modules but still obtaining a single instance of the implementation from the DebuggerInstance.

Different program modules require different debugger interfaces. A debugger interface of a program module is usually dependent on classes of the module in which the debugger interface is defined. To allow different program modules to contribute to the behavior of the single instance of the debugger the program modules should extend this interface. The single instance of the debugger should implement all the interfaces. When a module needs to access the debugger's functionality it will do it through the interface known to the module. In other words it will call the DebuggerInstance.getDebugger(Class) with the class of the interface defined in the module.
