The Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA) is a collection of
APIs to
debug
In computer programming and software development, debugging is the process of finding and resolving '' bugs'' (defects or problems that prevent correct operation) within computer programs, software, or systems.
Debugging tactics can involve int ...

Java Virtual Machine Tools Interface
Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface (JVMTI, or more properly, JVM TI) was introduced in J2SE 5.0 (''Tiger''). This interface allows a program to inspect the state and to control the execution of applications running in the Java Virtual Machine (JV ...

Java Virtual Machine
A Java virtual machine (JVM) is a virtual machine that enables a computer to run Java programs as well as programs written in other languages that are also compiled to Java bytecode. The JVM is detailed by a specification that formally describes ...

Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP) – defines communication between debuggee (a Java application) and
debugger processes.
Java Debugger Interface (JDI)
JDI is the highest-layer of the Java Platform Debugger Architecture. It allows to access the
JVM and the internal variables of the debugged program. It also allows to set
breakpoints,
stepping, and handle threads.
