When a thread suspends, the top stack frame of the thread is automatically selected. When a stack frame is selected, the visible variables in that stack frame are displayed in the Variables view. Complex variables can be expanded to show the elements that make up the variable. If the current stack frame contains a function call, the view will display a Global Variables node - this can be expanded to show global variables.
By default, the Variables view only displays user variables. If you want to see variables that are introduced by the Jython run time, click the Variable view down arrow icon and select Show All Jython Variables from the menu.
You can change the representation of variables that are integer, long, or string type to a hexadecimal representation. To do this, right-click the variable and select Display Hexadecimal Value from the pop-up menu. When this menu item has a check mark to the left of it, the hexadecimal representation of the variable is displayed.
Jython variable values cannot be edited.
