Modify/view static variables while debugging in Eclipse

As per the question. In the debug view, there's the Variables frame. It shows all the values of member variables of the current object, and all of the local variables, but it doesn't show any static variables of the object's class.

How do I get to these?

Some googling has suggested I press the button on the toolbar, but there's nothing on the Variables frame's toolbar except "Show Type Names" "Logical Structure" and "Collapse All" (Eclipse 3.4.2).

Any advice?

Solution

  • In the Debug Variables view their is a arrow button in the right of the view. the tooltip of this button is View Menu.

    When you click this button a drop down menu is shown where you can select

    Java -> Show static variables

    Note: You do not have to restart Eclipse.
