First just to clarify a general JDI feature about thread suspending and resuming. You can undo a ThreadReference.suspend() or a thread suspended as the result of an event by dong a vm.resume(). This is documented in the JDI API spec, which talks about suspendCounts and how various APIs and event delivery affect them.
I was tempted to clean up these vm.resume() calls but opted not to. The point being made in the comment is that worse case thread2 was suspended by a breakpoint or thread2.suspend() and all threads were suspended by a vm.resume() (meaning thread2 could have a suspendCount of 2). Two vm.resumes() take are done to make sure thread2 gets resumed under this situation. However, one of the vm.resume calls could instead be a thread2.resume(). Doing two vm.resume() calls was probably just laziness by the original authors. It works though.
However, by my accounting at any failure point thread2 never has a suspendCount > 1, so really just one vm.resume() would be enough.
The original code did these two vm.resume() calls unconditionally, but they are not needed if there was no error.
