/**
 * A manager of connections to target virtual machines. The
 * VirtualMachineManager allows one application to debug
 * multiple target VMs. (Note that the converse is not
 * supported; a target VM can be debugged by only one
 * debugger application.) This interface
 * contains methods to manage connections
 * to remote target VMs and to obtain the {@link VirtualMachine}
 * mirror for available target VMs.
 * <p>
 * Connections can be made using one of several different
 * {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector} objects. Each connector encapsulates
 * a different way of connecting the debugger with a target VM.
 * <p>
 * The VirtualMachineManager supports many different scenarios for
 * connecting a debugger to a virtual machine. Four examples
 * are presented in the table below. The
 * examples use the command line syntax in Sun's implementation.
 * Some {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector} implementations may require slightly
 * different handling than presented below.

 *
 * <p> Connectors are created at start-up time. That is, they
 * are created the first time that {@link
 * com.sun.jdi.Bootstrap#virtualMachineManager()} is invoked.
 * The list of all Connectors created at start-up time can be
 * obtained from the VirtualMachineManager by invoking the
 * {@link #allConnectors allConnectors} method.
 *
 * <p> Connectors are created at start-up time if they are
 * installed on the platform. In addition, Connectors are created
 * automatically by the VirtualMachineManager to encapsulate any
 * {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService} implementations
 * that are installed on the platform. These two mechanisms for
 * creating Connectors are described here.
 *
 * <p> A Connector is installed on the platform if it is installed
 * in a jar file that is visible to the defining class loader of
 * the {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector} type,
 * and that jar file contains a provider configuration file named
 * {@code com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector} in the resource directory
 * {@code META-INF/services}, and the provider configuration file
 * lists the full-qualified class name of the Connector
 * implementation. A Connector is a class that implements the
 * {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector Connector} interface. More
 * appropriately the class implements one of the specific Connector
 * types, namely {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.AttachingConnector
 * AttachingConnector}, {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.ListeningConnector
 * ListeningConnector}, or {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.LaunchingConnector
 * LaunchingConnector}. The format of the provider configuration file
 * is one fully-qualified class name per line. Space and tab characters
 * surrounding each class, as well as blank lines are ignored. The
 * comment character is {@code '#'} ({@code 0x23}), and on each
 * line all characters following the first comment character are
 * ignored. The file must be encoded in UTF-8.
 *
 * <p> At start-up time the VirtualMachineManager attempts to load
 * and instantiate (using the no-arg constructor) each class listed
 * in the provider configuration file. Exceptions thrown when loading
 * or creating the Connector are caught and ignored. In other words,
 * the start-up process continues despite of errors.
 *
 * <p> In addition to Connectors installed on the platform the
 * VirtualMachineManager will also create Connectors to encapsulate
 * any {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService} implementations
 * that are installed on the platform. A TransportService is
 * installed on the platform if it installed in a jar file that is
 * visible to the defining class loader for the
 * {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService} type, and that jar
 * file contains a provider configuration file named
 * {@code com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService} in the resource
 * directory {@code META-INF/services}, and the provider
 * configuration file lists the full-qualified class name of the
 * TransportService implementation. A TransportService is a concrete
 * sub-class of {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService
 * TransportService}. The format of the provider configuration file
 * is the same as the provider configuration file for Connectors
 * except that each class listed must be the fully-qualified class
 * name of a class that implements the TransportService interface.
 *
 * <p> For each TransportService installed on the platform, the
 * VirtualMachineManager creates a corresponding
 * {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.AttachingConnector} and
 * {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.ListeningConnector}. These
 * Connectors are created to encapsulate a {@link
 * com.sun.jdi.connect.Transport Transport} that in turn
 * encapsulates the TransportService.
 * The AttachingConnector will be named based on the name of the
 * transport service concatenated with the string {@code Attach}.
 * For example, if the transport service {@link
 * com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService#name() name()} method
 * returns {@code telepathic} then the AttachingConnector will
 * be named {@code telepathicAttach}. Similiarly the ListeningConnector
 * will be named with the string {@code Listen} tagged onto the
 * name of the transport service. The {@link
 * com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector#description() description()} method
 * of both the AttachingConnector, and the ListeningConnector, will
 * delegate to the {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.spi.TransportService#description()
 * description()} method of the underlying transport service. Both
 * the AttachingConnector and the ListeningConnector will have two
 * Connector {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector.Argument Arguments}.
 * A {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector.StringArgument StringArgument}
 * named {@code address} is the connector argument to specify the
 * address to attach too, or to listen on. A
 * {@link com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector.IntegerArgument IntegerArgument}
 * named {@code timeout} is the connector argument to specify the
 * timeout when attaching, or accepting. The timeout connector may be
 * ignored depending on if the transport service supports an attach
 * timeout or accept timeout.
 *
 * <p> Initialization of the virtual machine manager will fail, that is
 * {@link com.sun.jdi.Bootstrap#virtualMachineManager()} will throw an
 * error if the virtual machine manager is unable to create any
 * connectors.
