33  * Request for notification when a field is set.
34  * This event will be triggered when a value is assigned to the specified
35  * field with a Java™ programming
36  * language statement (assignment, increment, etc) or by a
37  * Java Native Interface (JNI) set function (<code>Set&lt;Type&gt;Field,
38  * SetStatic&lt;Type&gt;Field</code>).
39  * Setting a field to a value which is the same as the previous value
40  * still triggers this event.
41  * Modification by JDI does not trigger this event.
42  * When an enabled ModificationWatchpointRequest is satisfied, an
43  * {@link EventSet event set} containing a
44  * {@link ModificationWatchpointEvent ModificationWatchpointEvent}
45  * will be placed on the {@link EventQueue EventQueue}.
46  * The collection of existing watchpoints is
47  * managed by the {@link EventRequestManager}.
