/**
* Represents a request for notification of an event. Examples include
* {@link BreakpointRequest} and {@link ExceptionRequest}.
* When an event occurs for which an enabled request is present,
* an {@link com.sun.jdi.event.EventSet EventSet} will
* be placed on the {@link com.sun.jdi.event.EventQueue EventQueue}.
* The collection of existing event requests is
* managed by the {@link EventRequestManager}.
* <p>
* The number of events generated for an event request can be controlled
* through filters. Filters provide additional constraints that an event
* must satisfy before it is placed on the event queue. Multiple filters can
* be used by making multiple calls to filter addition methods such as
* {@link ExceptionRequest#addClassFilter(java.lang.String classPattern)}.
* Filters are added to an event one at a time only while the event is
* disabled. Multiple filters are applied with CUT-OFF AND, in the order
* it was added to the request. Only events that satisfy all filters are
* placed in the event queue.
* <p>
* The set of available filters is dependent on the event request,
* some examples of filters are:
* <ul>
* <li>Thread filters allow control over the thread for which events are
* generated.
* <li>Class filters allow control over the class in which the event
* occurs.
* <li>Instance filters allow control over the instance in which
* the event occurs.
* <li>Count filters allow control over the number of times an event
* is reported.
* </ul>
* Filters can dramatically improve debugger performance by reducing the
* amount of event traffic sent from the target VM to the debugger VM.
* <p>
* Any method on <code>EventRequest</code> which
* takes <code>EventRequest</code> as an parameter may throw
* {@link com.sun.jdi.VMDisconnectedException} if the target VM is
* disconnected and the {@link com.sun.jdi.event.VMDisconnectEvent} has been or is
* available to be read from the {@link com.sun.jdi.event.EventQueue}.
* <p>
* Any method on <code>EventRequest</code> which
* takes <code>EventRequest</code> as an parameter may throw
* {@link com.sun.jdi.VMOutOfMemoryException} if the target VM has run out of memory.
