next to variable entries in the Eclipse Debugger> I know it seems to uniquely identify the object. But what I can't tell is what it's relationship to the object is.
The ID number is arbitrarily assigned by the eclipse debugger, it is just a clue that can help when you are debugging to easily figure out if two variables are pointing to the same object or not ...
Thats' the unique object-id eclipse assigns to objects it sees. It helps you in identifying objects while debugging.
Variables/Expression view – Shows the declared variables and their values. Press Ctrl+Shift+d or Ctrl+Shift+i on a selected variable or expression to show its value. You can also add a permanent watch on an expression/variable that will then be shown in the Expressions view when debugging is on.
For eg. if you want to debug a Java application, you can use Alt+Shift+D and then after the list shows up, press J or you can also Navigate through the list to select your required option.
