This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie. |
I20080115-0800 Assign Value in Variables view should evaluate on selection, not on 'this'. Steps: public class Try { Object[] fElements; public static void main(String[] args) { new Try().doit(new Object[] { 42 }); } private void doit(Object[] elements) { fElements= elements; System.out.println(elements[0]); // breakpoint } } - debug to breakpoint - in Variables view, select elements > [0] or this > fElements > [0] - in details pane, enter: "answer: " + shortValue() - select the snipped and choose context menu > Inspect => evaluates fine and returns string "answer: 42" (expected) - enter snippet again but now choose context menu > Assign Value => error dialog: "The method shortValue() is undefined for type Try". => expected: snipped should be evaluated in same context as for Inspect action
