Hi, I have a simple, if naive, question about synchronizing JDWP startup. When a VM starts JDWP, two new threads are created to handle communications to the debugger. The VM must wait for these threads to be completely initialized and running before continuing (which would almost certainly include sending a VM_INIT event). The question is: how do people think is the best way to do this? Right now, I've got JdwpConnection and PacketProcessor essentially setting an "I'm ready" flag in gnu.classpath.jdwp.Jdwp. Libgcj then spins on a method call to Jdwp.isInitialized, sleeping for some short time if the return value is false. This works for gcj, but I'm uncertain of what other VMs would prefer. Does anyone have an opinion one way or the other about how this is done right now? [Aka, should we worry about it when it becomes a problem?] Keith
