 * The test checks that results of the method                   <BR>
 * <code>com.sun.jdi.LocatableEvent.thread()</code>             <BR>
 * complies with its spec.                                      <BR>
 * <BR>
 * The cases for testing include all Locatable events.          <BR>
 * The test checks that                                         <BR>
 * for each type of LocatableEvent received in a debugger,      <BR>
 * a value returned by the method invoked on                    <BR>
 * a <type>Event object corresponds to a thread                 <BR>
 * which debuggee's counterpart event was generated in.         <BR>
 * <BR>
 * The test has three phases and works as follows.              <BR>
 * <BR>
 * In first phase,                                                      <BR>
 * upon launching debuggee's VM which will be suspended,                <BR>
 * a debugger waits for the VMStartEvent within a predefined            <BR>
 * time interval. If no the VMStartEvent received, the test is FAILED.  <BR>
 * Upon getting the VMStartEvent, it makes the request for debuggee's   <BR>
 * ClassPrepareEvent with SUSPEND_EVENT_THREAD, resumes the VM,         <BR>
 * and waits for the event within the predefined time interval.         <BR>
 * If no the ClassPrepareEvent received, the test is FAILED.            <BR>
 * Upon getting the ClassPrepareEvent,                                  <BR>
 * the debugger sets up the breakpoint with SUSPEND_EVENT_THREAD        <BR>
 * within debuggee's special methodForCommunication().                  <BR>
 * <BR>
 * In second phase to check Locatable events,                           <BR>
 * the debugger and the debuggee perform the following.                 <BR>
 * - The debugger resumes the debuggee and waits for the BreakpointEvent.<BR>
 * - The debuggee creates a number of threads, one for each check case  <BR>
 *   and invokes the methodForCommunication to be suspended and         <BR>
 *   to inform the debugger with the event.                             <BR>
 * - Upon getting the BreakpointEvent, the debugger                     <BR>
 *   gets ThreadReferences mirroring all tested threads in the debuggee,<BR>
 *   sets up Requests within them to get Events to check up on,         <BR>
 *   resumes the debuggee, waits for events, and upon getting them,     <BR>
 *   compares ThreadReferences put into Requests to ones from Events;   <BR>
 *   if any mismatch, the test FAILED.                                  <BR>
 * <BR>
 * Note. To inform each other of needed actions, the debugger and       <BR>
 *       and the debuggee use debuggeee's variable "instruction".       <BR>
 * <BR>
 * In third phase when at the end,                                      <BR>
 * the debuggee changes the value of the "instruction"                  <BR>
 * to inform the debugger of checks finished, and both end.             <BR>
 * <BR>
