DebugEvent

All Known Implementing Classes:

EventDebugEvent, ExecEvent, ExecEvent, FiringEvent, IOPortEvent, PteraDebugEvent, PteraErrorEvent, StateEvent, TestDebugEvent, TypeEvent
```
public interface DebugEvent
```
An interface for events that can be used for debugging. These events will generally be subclassed to create events with more meaning (such as a FiringEvent). Debug events should always have a useful string representation, so that the generic listeners (such as StreamListener) can display them reasonably. This string representation should be provided by the toString() method.
