Debug session

Hi,

We are trying to change a variable value during debug session, but it's not possible to do it !

java version "1.6.0_18"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_18-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode)

Can you please elaborate? Which variable are you trying to change?

We do allow to change the value of primitive variables and String in-place in the Value column. Object variables can be assigned values in Evaluator (CTRL-F9) via variable = <expression>
The "#<code>" values in Value column can not be edited, because users were trying to edit the code directly.
