modify static vars in debugger? [message #238137]

Suppose I have this:

class A {
private static boolean b = false;
public void foo() {
if (b)
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
}
}

Now suppose I step into foo(). How can I modify the value of b? It doesn't
seem to show up in the "variables" pane of the debugger, because it's
static. I can right-click on it and Inspect or Display it, but I don't see
how to modify it from there.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but what is it?

Thanks!

In the variable view, click on the menu (small arrow top-down)>Java>Show
Static Variables.
