# Package org.eclipse.jdt.debug.eval

Provides a set classes and interfaces that support evaluations in the Java debugger.

See: Description

Interface Summary
IAstEvaluationEngine: An evaluation engine that performs evaluations by interpreting abstract syntax trees.
IClassFileEvaluationEngine: An evaluation engine that performs evaluations by deploying and executing class files locally.
ICompiledExpression: A compiled expression can be compiled once and evaluated multiple times in a runtime context.
IEvaluationEngine: An evaluation engine performs an evaluation of a code snippet or expression in a specified thread of a debug target.
IEvaluationListener: Evaluation results are reported to evaluation listeners on the completion of an evaluation.
IEvaluationResult: The result of an evaluation.

Class Summary
EvaluationManager: The evaluation manager provides factory methods for creating evaluation engines.

## Package org.eclipse.jdt.debug.eval Description

Provides a set classes and interfaces that support evaluations in the Java debugger.

## Package Specification

This package defines a set of classes and interfaces that support evaluations in the Java debugger. Two evaluation engines are provided - one that performs evaluations by compiling and deploying class files locally for execution, and one that performs an interpretation over an abstract syntax tree. The later supports remote evaluation via JDI.
