## com.sun.jdi.event
Interface ClassPrepareEvent

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 primtiive classes (for example, java.lang.Integer.TYPE).

Since:
  1.3

  `EventQueue`, `VirtualMachine`

Method Summary
`ReferenceType` | `referenceType()` Returns the reference type for which this event was generated.
`ThreadReference` | `thread()` Returns the thread in which this event has occurred.

Method Detail

### thread

    public 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.

### referenceType

    public 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.
