      @Exported
      public final class JDIPermission
      extends BasicPermission

  The `JDIPermission` class represents access rights to the `VirtualMachineManager`. This is the permission which the SecurityManager will check when code that is running with a SecurityManager requests access to the VirtualMachineManager, as defined in the Java Debug Interface (JDI) for the Java platform.

  A `JDIPermission` object contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.

  The following table provides a summary description of what the permission allows, and discusses the risks of granting code the permission.

  Permission Target Name | What the Permission Allows | Risks of Allowing this Permission
  --- | --- | ---
  virtualMachineManager | Ability to inspect and modify the JDI objects in the `VirtualMachineManager` | This allows an attacker to control the `VirtualMachineManager` and cause the system to misbehave.

  Programmers do not normally create JDIPermission objects directly. Instead they are created by the security policy code based on reading the security policy file.
