The Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA) is a collection of APIs to debug Java code.

  • Java Debugger Interface (JDI) - defines a high-level Java language interface that developers can easily use to write remote debugger application tools.
  • Java Virtual Machine Tools Interface (JVMTI), a native interface that helps to inspect the state and to control the execution of applications running in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
