Description Martin Entlicher 2009-06-23 17:07:23 UTC

Formatted variable values are visible in Variables, Watches and Evaluator Result windows. To improve the usability, an
action like "Create Formatter" should be added into the context menu on these variables. When a formatter is already
defined for the variable, an action like "Edit Formatter" should be added.

The action should open the Add/Edit dialog from Java Debugger options with the pre-filled class of the value. It's TBD
whether the Options dialog should be opened as well under the Add/Edit.
