Created attachment 147496 [details] patch Investigate using IJavaProject's evaluation context/class files for debugger evaluations. In the past we have not used this approach for evaluations, since class files cannot be physically deployed to remote targets (and we have no idea where class loaders will look for classes). The attached experiment uses JDI to load & resolve classes in the target VM as deployed by a Java project's evaluation context. It looks promising.
Created attachment 147589 [details] updates This patch fills in more of the blanks. There are some remaining issues: 1) Evaluations in the context of an array as 'this' no longer work. 2) Evaluations in the context of a java.* do not work (as we attempt to define/load new classes in the java.* packages which results in a security exception). 3) Evaluations have stricter visibility rules - since the compiler will only generate byte codes for things that are allowed (for example, it won't allow us to call a protected method on a type unless we are actually a subtype...)
This might be investigated along with the changes needed to support Java 8.
Created attachment 244852 [details] Alternate AST Evaluation Engine old patch modified for 4.5 stream Attaching the old patch modified for 4.5 stream . Will investigate further on this.
