     * A <code>size</code>value of {@link com.sun.jdi.request.StepRequest#STEP_MIN} will generate a

     * step event each time the source line changes unless line number information is not available,
     * in which case a STEP_MIN will be done instead.  For example, no line number information is
     * available during the execution of a method that has been rendered obsolete by
     * by a {@link com.sun.jdi.VirtualMachine#redefineClasses} operation.
     * A <code>depth</code> value of {@link com.sun.jdi.request.StepRequest#STEP_INTO} will generate
     * step events in any called methods.  A <code>depth</code> value
     * of {@link com.sun.jdi.request.StepRequest#STEP_OVER} restricts step events to the current frame
     * or caller frames. A <code>depth</code> value of {@link com.sun.jdi.request.StepRequest#STEP_OUT}
     * restricts step events to caller frames only. All depth
     * restrictions are relative to the call stack immediately before the
     * step takes place.
     * <p>
     * Only one pending step request is allowed per thread.
     * <p>
     * Note that a typical debugger will want to cancel stepping
     * after the first step is detected.  Thus a next line method
