+/**
+ * A process represents a program running in normal (non-debug) mode.
+ * Processes support setting and getting of client defined attributes.
+ * This way, clients can annotate a process with any extra information
+ * important to them. For example, classpath annotations, or command
+ * line arguments used to launch the process may be important to a client.
+ * <p>
+ * Clients may implement this interface, however, the debug plug-in
+ * provides an implementation of this interface for a
+ * <code>java.lang.Process</code>. 
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * <b>Note:</b> This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to 
+ * change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback 
+ * from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken
+ * (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
+ * </p>
