Please forgive my English. 
 
I am new to Eclipse development, so if some of these questions seem basic  
I apologize. I have done my best to go through the tutorials I have found  
online regarding plug-in development. 
 
I want to make a new window (view) for helping to debug in Eclipse. This  
new view will display class information visually (I have a set of SWT  
objects) and needs read-only access to the information available in the  
default "(x)= Variables" view.  
 
As I understand it, the information in the Variables view is stored in  
IVariable objects that tie into IDebugElement somehow. I have had no luck  
finding tutorials to help setting up the use of these two classes. It also  
seems like I am looking for an extension-point to the Variables view to  
connect my plug-in so I can read information from the built-in plug-in. 
 
Please recommend some tutorials or reading that would be helpful for my  
goals. 
 
 
Jim
