When my breakpoint is hit during run time, I cant see the actual variables from my java files under variables list, I only see this, arg1, arg2 etc. I'm using tomcat as webserver and I checked the jdk that it runs and the the jdk used by eclipse to build the files..those are the same version jdk 1.5_11

I can see the variables when i hit a breakpoint in my JSPfiles , but not in java. How do i resolve this issue? Thanks in advance for the help.

LR,
I would like you to try something out:-
1. Create a new Java Project.
2. Add a new class file to this project called TestClass with a main method.
3. Paste the following code in your class:-

Code:

public class TestClass {

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
   // TODO Auto-generated method stub

   int i=0;
   i=i+i;
   i=i++;
   i++;
   System.out.println(i);
}

}

4. Add a break point to the line where the variable i has been declared (int i=0;)
5. Right click on your TestClass and go to Debug As > Java Application.
6. Switch to the debug perspective and check if i shows up under the Variable Window.

Incase i doesn't show up, please go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

I hope the project has not gone corrupt. You can try using the -clean command to try and fix this issue but incase that doesn't help, you might have to create a new project and transfer your code to the new project to continue working.
