Does Eclipse have an analog to Visual Studio's "Immediate Window", a window where I can evaluate statements while in the debugger?

To display the Immediate window, open a project for editing, and then choose Debug > Windows > Immediate or press Ctrl+Alt+I. You can also enter Debug. Immediate in the Command window. The Immediate window supports IntelliSense.
To manually open the Expressions view, go to Window | Show View | Debug | Expressions. The Expressions view allows you to monitor certain variables which you have decided to 'watch' during the debugging process. Selecting a variable will display details in the detail pane below the view.
The differences between the Command and Immediate windowsThe Command window can load dlls or packages into the IDE as well. The Immediate window, on the other hand, is solely used during debugging and is useful to execute statements, print values of a contextual variable, or even evaluate expressions.
A Java program can be debugged simply by right clicking on the Java editor class file from Package explorer. Select Debug As → Java Application or use the shortcut Alt + Shift + D, J instead.
Yes. The view name is "Display".
Window->Show View->Other It is under the Debug folder.
Once in there you evaluate statements while in the debugger.

Eclipse has a really cool concept call Scrapbook Pages where you can evaluate statements even when you're not debugging. However, if you want to eval code using values from the current program, go to Window->Show View->Expressions. There you can put in any expression you want and track it as your program executes.
