/**
* Invokes the specified static {@link Method} in the
* target VM. The
* specified method must be defined in this interface.
* The method must be a static method
* but not a static initializer.
* <p>
* The method invocation will occur in the specified thread.
* Method invocation can occur only if the specified thread
* has been suspended by an event which occurred in that thread.
* Method invocation is not supported
* when the target VM has been suspended through
* {@link VirtualMachine#suspend} or when the specified thread
* is suspended through {@link ThreadReference#suspend}.
* <p>
* The specified method is invoked with the arguments in the specified
* argument list. The method invocation is synchronous; this method
* does not return until the invoked method returns in the target VM.
* If the invoked method throws an exception, this method will throw
* an {@link InvocationException} which contains a mirror to the exception
* object thrown.
* <p>
* Object arguments must be assignment compatible with the argument type
* (This implies that the argument type must be loaded through the
* enclosing class' class loader). Primitive arguments must be
* either assignment compatible with the argument type or must be
* convertible to the argument type without loss of information.
* If the method being called accepts a variable number of arguments,
* then the last argument type is an array of some component type.
* The argument in the matching position can be omitted, or can be null,
* an array of the same component type, or an argument of the
* component type followed by any number of other arguments of the same
* type. If the argument is omitted, then a 0 length array of the
* component type is passed. The component type can be a primitive type.
* Autoboxing is not supported.
*
* See Section 5.2 of
* <cite>The Java&trade; Language Specification</cite>
* for more information on assignment compatibility.
* <p>
* By default, all threads in the target VM are resumed while
* the method is being invoked if they were previously
* suspended by an event or by {@link VirtualMachine#suspend} or
* {@link ThreadReference#suspend}. This is done to prevent the deadlocks
* that will occur if any of the threads own monitors
* that will be needed by the invoked method.
* Note, however, that this implicit resume acts exactly like
* {@link ThreadReference#resume}, so if the thread's suspend
* count is greater than 1, it will remain in a suspended state
* during the invocation and thus a deadlock could still occur.
* By default, when the invocation completes,
* all threads in the target VM are suspended, regardless their state
* before the invocation.
* It is possible that
* breakpoints or other events might occur during the invocation.
* This can cause deadlocks as described above. It can also cause a deadlock
* if invokeMethod is called from the client's event handler thread. In this
* case, this thread will be waiting for the invokeMethod to complete and
* won't read the EventSet that comes in for the new event. If this
* new EventSet is SUSPEND_ALL, then a deadlock will occur because no
* one will resume the EventSet. To avoid this, all EventRequests should
* be disabled before doing the invokeMethod, or the invokeMethod should
* not be done from the client's event handler thread.
* <p>
* The resumption of other threads during the invocation can be prevented
* by specifying the {@link #INVOKE_SINGLE_THREADED}
* bit flag in the <code>options</code> argument; however,
* there is no protection against or recovery from the deadlocks
* described above, so this option should be used with great caution.
* Only the specified thread will be resumed (as described for all
* threads above). Upon completion of a single threaded invoke, the invoking thread
* will be suspended once again. Note that any threads started during
* the single threaded invocation will not be suspended when the
* invocation completes.
* <p>
* If the target VM is disconnected during the invoke (for example, through
* {@link VirtualMachine#dispose}) the method invocation continues.
*
* @param thread the thread in which to invoke.
* @param method the {@link Method} to invoke.
* @param arguments the list of {@link Value} arguments bound to the
* invoked method. Values from the list are assigned to arguments
* in the order they appear in the method signature.
* @param options the integer bit flag options.
* @return a {@link Value} mirror of the invoked method's return value.
* @throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if the method is not
* a member of this interface, if the size of the argument list
* does not match the number of declared arguments for the method, or
* if the method is not static or is a static initializer.
* @throws {@link InvalidTypeException} if any argument in the
* argument list is not assignable to the corresponding method argument
* type.
* @throws ClassNotLoadedException if any argument type has not yet been loaded
* through the appropriate class loader.
* @throws IncompatibleThreadStateException if the specified thread has not
* been suspended by an event.
* @throws InvocationException if the method invocation resulted in
* an exception in the target VM.
* @throws InvalidTypeException If the arguments do not meet this requirement --
* Object arguments must be assignment compatible with the argument
* type. This implies that the argument type must be
* loaded through the enclosing class' class loader.
* Primitive arguments must be either assignment compatible with the
* argument type or must be convertible to the argument type without loss
* of information. See JLS section 5.2 for more information on assignment
