Cannot evaluate a variable while debugging [message #270323]

I get this message if I want to inspect a variable when debugging:

"The selected stack frame must be associated with a Java project in the
workspace to perform an evaluation."

What is wrong? I don't understand the message.

To perform evaluations in the debugger, the debugger must be able to
generate and compile source code. To compile a source snippet, we require a
project context, from which a build path and referenced types are resolved.
If you are debugging code that is not from a Java project in the workspace
(for example, a remote debuggee for source is not part of a Java project),
this message will appear.
