Why are (static) variables not show in Variables pane during Debug? [message #718813]

I have a java application with the simplified code like:

public class xxxx {
static int aaa = 777;
static boolean myboo = true;
public static void main(...) { }
}

When I enter now Debug session and start to debug code beginning in the "main()" class then neither the variables aaa and myboo nor their values are shown in the "Variables" section/window.

Why?

I guess its because they are defined static?
How do I tell Eclipse to show static variables as well?
