STR: --- 1. Install Eclipse 4.4 Luna on Windows 7 2. Open `Window > Preferences` : `Java > Debug > Detail Formatters` 3. Add formatter for `java.util.Calendar` with any valid content, say `"XX"` 4. Add a very same formatter for `java.util.Date` 5. Create a sample unit test: ``` package my.package; import java.util.Calendar; import java.util.Date; import org.junit.Test; public class MyTest { @Test public void testXX() { Date ddd = new Date(111, 11, 11); Calendar ccc = Calendar.getInstance(); System.out.println(ddd); } } ``` 6. Put a breakpoint on the `println` line 7. Debug the test as a JUnit test 8. Open `Variables` or `Expressions` view to inspect contents of the variables Result: ------- Detail formatter for Calendar is properly applied: output is: `XX` Detail formatter for Date is NOT properly applied: output is: ``` Detail formatter error: Evaluations must contain either an expression or a block of well-formed statements ``` Additional info: --------------- It seems that whatever code I put in the formatter for Date, it always breaks. I didn't find though any info about it in the internet other than someone else's post from 2009: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/82652/ Is someone able to reproduce the issue?
Yes, I can reproduce the bug on Mars 4.5 also.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
Same as before.
