Basic questions about creating a debug view [message #202710]

I'm attempting to create a debug view and I'm hoping I can get a little
guidance. What I'm looking to do is when a breakpoint is hit to execute
code in the JVM being debugged. So for simplicity let's say that I want
to call "System.getProperty()" from my view. From the little digging
I've done it seems like I can use an ASTEvaluation to do this. Is this
correct? If so is there existing code that someone can point me to to
see how this is done? I'm just looking for a place to start here.

Thanks,
brad

I found where evaluations were occuring in the some of the eclipse code
but now I'm having trouble retrieving the IJavaProject for the project
being debugged. Can anyone provide any insight into thow this is retrieved?

A couple places to get started:
EvaluateAction#getJavaElement(...)
JavaLineBreakpoint#handleConditionalBreakpointEvent(...)

Thanks a lot. I had tried EvaluateAction and for some reason still had
difficulties but the code in JavaLineBreapoint did the trick.

Thanks,
Brad
