Description jnash67 2002-06-05 21:31:49 UTC

This is a nice feature in JBuilder that I haven't seen in 
Netbeans. While debugging, if you right click on a 
variable, one of the options is to "Evaluate / Modify" the 
variable. Rather than just adding a watch, which isn't 
always appropriate, if you just want to see what that 
variable is right then and possibly change it to see the 
effect.

You already get evaluation in the tooltip.
We may add "Modify" also...
