How to show chars as ints in debugger? [message #559479]

Sometimes I have to examine the individual characters in a String in the
debugger. If the character happens to be something that doesn't display,
like a space or a tab, I need to see the decimal or hex code for it to
know what it is exactly.

How can I modify the debugger display to show me hex codes as well as
characters when a variable is of type char?

Never mind: click the menu arrow in the Variables tab, Java -> Java
Preferences -> Debug -> Primitive Display -> Display Hexadecimal Values
