Hi Gary,

Overall it looks good.

Is the EventHandler.isDisconnected() check needed?
This just follows the pattern used in other calls to setValue.
No point in attempting the operation, if you know the
connection was lost. An exception at this point could
be misleading, if some other error has already occurred.

In resume008a.java you removed a lot of empty lines. In some places it's fine, but the lines at 132 and 134 should have remained. Also, for the ones that were ok to remove, I don't see you doing the same thing in the other files. I think probably it's best to be consistent, and for this webrev probably best not to do them since it distracts too much from the important changes.
The original bug was reported against resume008, so more time was spent in that particular test, including some line wrapping changes. I will restore the blank lines you mentioned before producing a final patch. The other tests had observed failures also during testing. Applying the same change fixed those failures as well.

Seems like there is a lot of abstraction that could have been done with these tests to share a lot of code, but since so far that hasn't been done, probably not a good idea to start doing that with this fix. Do you think it's worth filing an enhancement request for?
Reformatting or refactoring these older tests would be at best a P5.
I don't think it's worth filing a bug, but as we fix bugs in these test it's
worth some minimal amount of cleanup while we are in the code.

thanks,

Chris

Here is an updated webrev with the alternate solution implemented for
resume 1 to 10. The debugger sets testCase variable in the debuggee
when each test case completes in the debugger. By having the debuggee
wait for the debugger to complete with test case 0, it avoids the interference that occurs by proceeding to the breakpoint set in MethodForCommunication
before the debugger has compared expected suspend counts.

A race condition exists between the debugger and the debuggee.

The first test thread is started with SUSPEND_NONE policy set.
While processing the thread start event the debugger captures
an initial set of thread suspend counts and resumes the
debuggee vm. If the debuggee advances quickly it reaches
the breakpoint set for methodForCommunication. Since the breakpoint
carries with it SUSPEND_ALL policy, when the debugger captures a second
set of suspend counts, it will not match the expected counts for
a SUSPEND_NONE scenario.

The proposed fix introduces a yield in the debuggee test thread run method
to allow the debugger to get the expected sampled values.
