However, additional tracing showed ( pleases see below the sample output) that in some cases these ClassUnload events are received after we entered definedClasses() method and started iterating over the copy of the collection of the classes returned by vm.allClasses() method.
Thanks for clarifying that for me. I was thinking in this case that
definedClasses() was directly querying the target VM, but it isn't it's
iterating the existing set of known classes cached in the client
(vm.allClasses()).
Though it seems that whether or not we will hit this
ObjectCollectedException depends on what we have already done with a
particular ReferenceType. In this case we hit the exception when
invoking classLoader() but that will only throw the exception if we do
not already have the classLoader cached and have to go and seek it from
the target VM.
I do wonder why this issue should suddenly appear now? Encountering an
unloaded class, like a generated reflection accessor, should always have
been possible and so we should have seen this before. Something must
have changed recently. ??
I'm also concerned about other code that iterates through
vm.allClasses() and which does not seem to be aware of the possibility
of CollectedObjectException. For example in ClassTypeImpl.java we have:
public List<ClassType> subclasses() {
List<ClassType> subs = new ArrayList<>();
for (ReferenceType refType : vm.allClasses()) {
if (refType instanceof ClassType) {
ClassType clazz = (ClassType)refType;
ClassType superclass = clazz.superclass();
if ((superclass != null) && superclass.equals(this)) {
subs.add((ClassType)refType);
}
}
}
return subs;
}
If the superclass is already cached then this will work, but if it has
to call to the target VM over JDWP then we will have the same bug I
think. Which again raises the question for me as to why we are not
seeing tests fail here?

This is fine - generated reflection accessor are loaded in a custom
classloader specifically so they can be unloaded promptly. But ...

... these are I believe definitions of VM anonymous classes (they have
names of the form foo/<number> which are not legal class names). Should
these even be visible to JDI?
Thanks,
