Description Justin Spadea CLA 2011-07-12 11:10:43 EDT 
Users should be able to right-click on a variable and choose "Watch". JDT just creates a watch expression with the variable's name, but that only works on toplevel fields. We should be smarter and build a fully-qualified expression that resolves to the variable.
