Annotation Processing via JDI

Question

Hello,
I would like to process annotations using JDI , and i check out [http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4728827] that was at 2002 and it was not yet implemented. is it implemented now?

Answer 1

I began to implement as we discussed but the first weird problem appeard . In the method i handle for the ThreadStartEvent and it's code is as follows:
     private void threadStartEvent(ThreadStartEvent event){
          //threadTrace(event.thread()).threadStartEvent(event);
          System.out.println("A Thread Start event happened !");
          event.thread().suspend();
          ThreadReference thRef;
          try {
               thRef = event.thread().getClass().newInstance();
          } catch (InstantiationException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
An InstantiationException is thrown and this is its stacktrace
java.lang.InstantiationException: com.sun.tools.jdi.ThreadReferenceImpl

The thread i am trying to do .newInstance() is not abstract nor an interface ... So Why this is happening ?
