Class ClientConnector

java.lang.Object

javax.ide.debug.Connector

javax.ide.debug.ClientConnector

public abstract class ClientConnector
extends Connector

ClientConnectors expect extension writers to start the debuggee process by calling Connector.startDebuggee(Map). Once the debuggee is launched, the extension writer can attach the debugger to the debugge by calling attachDebugger(). IDE providers must provide an implementation of this interface. Extension writers can access the Connector through the Debugger.getClientConnector(Context) method.
