Description Leon Pesenson CLA 2001-12-15 15:11:28 EST 
VAJ had a feature that I found very useful in complex debugging, the ability to 
execute methods on any inspected variable, not just the ones that are in scope. 
For instance, lets say one is inspecting variable A, which inside it has a 
member B. One can in Eclipse inspect member B, but one can not send messages to 
it. The Display window is probably incapable of doing this, but in VAJ a new 
window would open up for each inspected variable and one could type any amount 
of code there and execute. This helps in complex bugs, it would be very nice if 
this feature were added to Eclipse.
