    enableDebug - If true - enables debug output.
  - isDebug
```
@Deprecated
boolean isDebug()

    Deprecated.
    
    This method is deprecated! please switch to using the SimpleLog class.
    Used to determine if JDA is currently in debug mode.
    
    Returns:

  - shutdown
```
void shutdown()
```
    Shuts down JDA, closing all its connections. After this command is issued the JDA Instance can not be used anymore. This will also close the background-thread used for requests (which is required for further api calls of other JDA instances). If this is not desired, use shutdown(boolean) instead. To reconnect, just create a new JDA instance.
  - shutdown
```
void shutdown(boolean free)
```
    Shuts down JDA, closing all its connections. After this command is issued the JDA Instance can not be used anymore. Depending on the free-parameter, this will also close the background-thread used for requests. If the background-thread is closed, the system can exit properly, but no further JDA requests are possible (includes other JDA instances). If you want to reconnect, and the request-thread was not freed, just create a new JDA instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    free - If true, shuts down JDA's rest system permanently.
