Build Identifier: I20110127-2034 Running the Display action (ctrl+shift+d) on a method invocation that throws shows only the class of the exception. It'd be much more useful to show the stack-trace and the message from the exception. (These are currently (sometimes) sent to the console.) This would also be useful in the Inspect action and the Expressions view. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a class that calls a function that throws, e.g. class Scratch { public static void main(String[] args) { foo(); // line 3 } private static void foo() { throw new RuntimeException(); } } 2. Breakpoint line 3 and run. 3. When the debugger is stopped on line 3, highlight foo() and execute Display (ctrl+shift+d). You'll get: "Error Evaluating: An exception occurred: java.lang.RuntimeException", instead of a stack-trace.
