Dear Friends,
I'd like to know whether there is something like a live watch feature which I could use from within eclipse.
E.g. in IAR Debugger it is possible to have a watch window which I could use to watch expressions which are updated in a specifieable interval, e.g. 1sec.
Can I do sth. similar with the debugging features of eclipse?
My first idea was, to use a watchpoint (on which debugging would stop) and add a resume action "resume immediately. However, this resume action seems to never take place.
Second idea was, to place a breakpoint into a function, with a resume immediately action, which works, however, the expressions window does not display the last read values during running. Thats a pitty, cause if it would keep the last value, it could be possible to live watch the expressions in the window.
Does anybody see another way to achieve this behaviour?
Btw. I am running eclipse indigo SR2 on linux.
Thank you very much, Michael

I did not find any available plugin, so I am thinking about writing it on my own. However, I have never developed a plugin for eclipse, but it seems to be no magic.
Maybe it might not be the right place to ask this question here, if so, please point me the right direction 
So I need to somehow "modify" the variables and the expressions view. By playing around I found, that all I would need to do is, not to update the views content as long as the target is not suspendes. Together with an (already existing) "resume immediately"-action I can achieve a similar behaviour.
THE ISSUE: Both views are implemented in org.eclipse.debug.ui. How can I modify them such that I can reuse them? I tried to clone the code (probably a bad idea) and had many conflicts.
Can I develop another plugin and write a View class, which extends e.g. VariablesView and overrides the members I need to change? Or will this have negative influences (= which of the VariableVIew-Implementations will load, etc.?)
Thank you for your help!
