public interface ThreadStartEvent extends Event
Thread.start()
or the result of
attaching a new thread to the VM though JNI. The
notification is generated by the new thread some time before
its execution starts.
Because of this timing, it is possible to receive other events
for the thread before this event is received. (Notably,
MethodEntryEvent
s and MethodExitEvent
s might occur
during thread initialization.)
It is also possible for VirtualMachine.allThreads()
to return
a new started thread before this event is received.
Note that this event gives no information about the creation of the thread object which may have happened much earlier, depending on the VM being debugged.
