How can I view SWT Image while debugging? [message #696288]

I added a breakpoint on my SWT-based application, and when Eclipse stops at it during a debug session I want to view the image referenced by an Image variable.

If I right click the variable and choose watch or inspect, all I see is what is returned from Image's toString method.

Is it possible?

It all depends on how important and usefull is this requirement.
A plugin can be written to view the image in the outline view or in a seperate view.
If at all more people require this..will try to impliment this.

Intrested ppl please vote.

I'd write a utility method which saves the file to disk (and optionally launches the graphic application to view it). When debugging, you can execute this method easily with the image variable as parameters.

I agree. I have solved similar problems exactly in that way.
