Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:ClassPrepareEvent [NONE]
All Superinterfaces: `Event`, `Mirror`
    public interface ClassPrepareEvent
    extends Event
Notification of a class prepare in the target VM. See the JVM specification for a definition of class preparation. Class prepare events are not generated for primitive classes (for example, java.lang.Integer.TYPE). Since: 1.3 See Also: `EventQueue`, `VirtualMachine`

### method:thread() [NONE]
### thread ThreadReference thread() Returns the thread in which this event has occurred. In rare cases, this event may occur in a debugger system thread within the target VM. Debugger threads take precautions to prevent these events, but they cannot be avoided under some conditions, especially for some subclasses of `Error`. If the event was generated by a debugger system thread, the value returned by this method is null, and if the requested suspend policy for the event was `EventRequest.SUSPEND_EVENT_THREAD`, all threads will be suspended instead, and the `EventSet.suspendPolicy()` will reflect this change. Note that the discussion above does not apply to system threads created by the target VM during its normal (non-debug) operation. Returns: a `ThreadReference` which mirrors the event's thread in the target VM, or null in the rare cases described above.

### method:referenceType() [NONE]
### referenceType ReferenceType referenceType() Returns the reference type for which this event was generated. Returns: a `ReferenceType` which mirrors the class, interface, or array which has been linked.
