## Constructor Details

### JdiInitiator

public JdiInitiator(int port, List<String> remoteVMOptions, String remoteAgent, boolean isLaunch, String host, int timeout, Map<String,String> customConnectorArgs)
Start the remote agent and establish a JDI connection to it.

Parameters:
  `port` - the socket port for (non-JDI) commands
  `remoteVMOptions` - any user requested VM command-line options
  `remoteAgent` - full class name of remote agent to launch
  `isLaunch` - does JDI do the launch? That is, LaunchingConnector, otherwise we start explicitly and use ListeningConnector
  `host` - explicit hostname to use, if null use discovered hostname, applies to listening only (!isLaunch)
  `timeout` - the start-up time-out in milliseconds. If zero or negative, will not wait thus will timeout immediately if not already started.
  `customConnectorArgs` - custom arguments passed to the connector. These are JDI com.sun.jdi.connect.Connector arguments. The `vmexec` argument is not supported.

## Method Details

### vm

public VirtualMachine vm()

### process

public Process process()
Returns the launched process.

Returns:
