189      * <p>
190      * By default, the method is invoked using dynamic lookup as
191      * documented in section 15.12.4.4 of
192      * <cite>The Java&trade; Language Specification</cite>
193      * in particular, overriding based on the runtime type of the object
194      * mirrored by this {@link ObjectReference} will occur. This
195      * behavior can be changed by specifying the
196      * {@link #INVOKE_NONVIRTUAL} bit flag in the <code>options</code>
197      * argument. If this flag is set, the specified method is invoked
198      * whether or not it is overridden for this object's runtime type.
199      * The method, in this case, must have an implementation, either in a class
200      * or an interface. This option is useful for performing method invocations
201      * like those done with the <code>super</code> keyword in the Java programming
202      * language.
203      * <p>
204      * By default, all threads in the target VM are resumed while
205      * the method is being invoked if they were previously
206      * suspended by an event or by {@link VirtualMachine#suspend} or
207      * {@link ThreadReference#suspend}. This is done to prevent the deadlocks
208      * that will occur if any of the threads own monitors
209      * that will be needed by the invoked method.
210      * Note, however, that this implicit resume acts exactly like
211      * {@link ThreadReference#resume}, so if the thread's suspend
212      * count is greater than 1, it will remain in a suspended state
213      * during the invocation and thus a deadlock could still occur.
214      * By default, when the invocation completes,
215      * all threads in the target VM are suspended, regardless their state
216      * before the invocation.
217      * It is possible that
218      * breakpoints or other events might occur during the invocation.
219      * This can cause deadlocks as described above. It can also cause a deadlock
220      * if invokeMethod is called from the client's event handler thread.  In this
221      * case, this thread will be waiting for the invokeMethod to complete and
222      * won't read the EventSet that comes in for the new event.  If this
223      * new EventSet is SUSPEND_ALL, then a deadlock will occur because no
224      * one will resume the EventSet.  To avoid this, all EventRequests should
225      * be disabled before doing the invokeMethod, or the invokeMethod should
226      * not be done from the client's event handler thread.
227      * <p>
228      * The resumption of other threads during the invocation can be prevented
229      * by specifying the {@link #INVOKE_SINGLE_THREADED}
230      * bit flag in the <code>options</code> argument; however,
231      * there is no protection against or recovery from the deadlocks
232      * described above, so this option should be used with great caution.
233      * Only the specified thread will be resumed (as described for all
234      * threads above). Upon completion of a single threaded invoke, the invoking thread
235      * will be suspended once again. Note that any threads started during
236      * the single threaded invocation will not be suspended when the
237      * invocation completes.
238      * <p>
239      * If the target VM is disconnected during the invoke (for example, through
