    Description

      Access to JVMDI in JDK1.2beta4 is through global entry points. Thus access
      to multiple VMs is difficult or impossible. This global approach also
      disallows a VM from providing more than one version of the JVMDI.

      JNI solves these problems by using access through a function table.
      JVMDI should adopt a similiar approach. This would also make it more
      stylistically compatible with JNI, on which JVMDI is built.
