package com.sun.jdi;
/**
* A proxy used by a debugger to examine or manipulate some entity
* in another virtual machine. Mirror is the root of the
* interface hierarchy for this package. Mirrors can be proxies for objects
* in the target VM ({@link ObjectReference}), primitive values
* (for example, {@link IntegerValue}), types (for example,
* {@link ReferenceType}), dynamic application state (for example,
* {@link StackFrame}), and even debugger-specific constructs (for example,
* {@link com.sun.jdi.request.BreakpointRequest}).
* The {@link VirtualMachine} itself is also
* considered a mirror, representing the composite state of the
* target VM.
* <P>
* There is no guarantee that a particular entity in the target VM will map
* to a single instance of Mirror. Implementors are free to decide
* whether a single mirror will be used for some or all mirrors. Clients
* of this interface should always use <code>equals</code> to compare
* two mirrors for equality.
* <p>
* Any method on a {@link com.sun.jdi.Mirror} that takes a <code>Mirror</code> as an
* parameter directly or indirectly (e.g., as a element in a <code>List</code>) will
* throw {@link com.sun.jdi.VMMismatchException} if the mirrors are from different
* virtual machines.
