DebugElement
public interface IDebugElement extends IAdaptable
A debug element represents an artifact in a program being debugged.

Some methods on debug elements require communication with the target program. Such methods may throw a DebugException with a status code of TARGET_REQUEST_FAILED when unable to complete a request due to a failure on the target. Methods that require communication with the target program or require the target to be in a specific state (for example, suspended), are declared as such.

Debug elements are language independent. However, language specific features can be made available via the adapter mechanism provided by IAdaptable, or by extending the debug element interfaces. A debug model is responsible for declaring any special adapters its debug elements implement.

Clients may implement this interface.
