org.eclipse.jdt.launching
Interface IVMInstall

All Known Implementing Classes:: AbstractVMInstall

public interface IVMInstall

Represents a particular installation of a VM. A VM instance holds all parameters specific to a VM installation. Unlike VM types, VM instances can be created and configured dynamically at run-time. This is typically done by the user interactively in the UI.

A VM install is responsible for creating VM runners to launch a Java program in a specific mode.

This interface is intended to be implemented by clients that contribute to the "org.eclipse.jdt.launching.vmType" extension point.

java.lang.String getName()
          Returns the display name of this VM.

java.lang.String[] getVMArguments()
          Returns VM arguments to be used with this vm install whenever this VM is launched, or null if none.

IVMInstallType getVMInstallType()
          Returns the VM type of this VM.

IVMRunner getVMRunner(java.lang.String mode)
          Returns a VM runner that runs this installed VM in the given mode.
