/**
 * Attach provider class for attaching to a Java virtual machine.
 *
 * <p> An attach provider is a concrete subclass of this class that has a
 * zero-argument constructor and implements the abstract methods specified
 * below. </p>
 *
 * <p> An attach provider implementation is typically tied to a Java virtual
 * machine implementation, version, or even mode of operation. That is, a specific
 * provider implementation will typically only be capable of attaching to
 * a specific Java virtual machine implementation or version. For example, Sun's
 * JDK implementation ships with provider implementations that can only attach to
 * Sun's <i>HotSpot</i> virtual machine. In general, if an environment
 * consists of Java virtual machines of different versions and from different
 * vendors then there will be an attach provider implementation for each
 * <i>family</i> of implementations or versions. </p>
 *
 * <p> An attach provider is identified by its {@link #name <i>name</i>} and
 * {@link #type <i>type</i>}. The <i>name</i> is typically, but not required to
 * be, a name that corresponds to the VM vendor. The Sun JDK implementation,
 * for example, ships with attach providers that use the name <i>"sun"</i>. The
 * <i>type</i> typically corresponds to the attach mechanism. For example, an
 * implementation that uses the Doors inter-process communication mechanism
 * might use the type <i>"doors"</i>. The purpose of the name and type is to
 * identify providers in environments where there are multiple providers
 * installed. </p>
 *
 * <p> AttachProvider implementations are loaded and instantiated at the first
 * invocation of the {@link #providers() providers} method. This method
 * attempts to load all provider implementations that are installed on the
 * platform. </p>
 *
 * <p> All of the methods in this class are safe for use by multiple
 * concurrent threads. </p>
 *
 * @since 1.6
