Since upgrading Eclipse (Galileo build 20090920-1017), hover in debug no longer displays a variable's value. Instead, hover behaves as if I were in normal Java perspective:

I've tried cleaning the project, re-importing it, etc., all to no avail. Anything I'm missing here?

Go to Window - Preferences - Java - Editor - Hovers. Is "Combined Hover" selected? Uncheck it; apply; close the window; restart debugging session; go back; check it again; apply. If the above doesn't help, you can check "Variable Values" option and specify a modifier key for it.
For that, look at the Debug window. You can add this window to any perspective, and changing to a perspective that doesn't have a debug window doesn't stop or pause any debugging. To stop debugging, use the "stop" button or right-menu option in the Debug window. Or tell the application being debugged to exit itself.
Debug Perspective The debug perspective offers additional views that can be used to troubleshoot an application like Breakpoints, Variables, Debug, Console etc.
Go to Window - Preferences - Java - Editor - Hovers.

I went to Window - Preferences - Java - Editor - Hovers, hit "Restore Defaults" and "Apply" and that fixed it for me, even though nothing actually changed in the settings...
