Re: [cdt-debug-dev] feature work

John,

I was talking about the Properties view ("Window->Show 
view->Other->General->Properties"), not the Properties dialog. It's a 
general view that listens to the current selection in the active view and 
tries to get the properties provider for the selected object.
The "value" fields of the view are not exclusively textual. The "Browse" 
button or a selection list widget also can be used. It may not look very 
attractive but it's not too bad as a first step.
