Description chidveer chinthakuntla CLA 2018-06-17 16:11:00 EDT 
In debug view its not easy to see the values for wrapper classes or date/times.

1. create class/main method and create variables as below.
      Long wrapperLong = new Long(4);        
      long primitiveLong=45454l;
2. add a debug point after the 2nd line  and launch in debug perspective.
3. As attached in the screenshot you will won't be able to see the wrapperLong value (directly in the Variable view) but, you have to click on it to see its vlaue.
4. Adding some default DetailFormatters for these would be nice 
5. In my example its easy to see an object value  as "4 - Long( Id=45)" instead of just the type and address.
