public class RemoteObject
extends RemoteValue
The RemoteObject class allows access to an object in a remote Java interpreter. Remote objects are not created by the local debugger, but are returned by the remote debugging agent when queried for the values of instance or static variables of known objects (such as classes), or from local (stack) variables. Each remote object has a reference cached by the remote Java interpreter, so that the object will not be garbage-collected during examination. The RemoteDebugger's gc() operation frees references to objects that are no longer being examined.
