Description Justin Spadea CLA 2011-05-18 09:55:48 EDT 
Certain types look terrible with JDT's basic "toString()", for example date/time/timestamp should all be formatted (probably using defaultDate/Time/TimestampFormat). We'll need to decide if we want to format numeric variables like we do in RBD (and was done in VAGen's ITF) - e.g. num(5) always displayed 5 digits, "00002".

Another thing to consider - child variables for primitive types. An EGL string shouldn't have kids, but the Java String object does - let's hide them. For boxed function parameters they are a boxed type with the real value as a child - let's just show the child as the variable, otherwise it's confusing that an INT has no display value and a child of type java.lang.Integer.

We've implemented what we're going to for the time being. Any new types that we want to format in a special way can open separate bugs.
