Description Juergen Baier CLA 2019-02-05 04:26:04 EST 
If you want to see the values of variables during debugging you basically have two options:

- Look at the Variables view
- Mouseover the variable

It would be nice if the variable values would be shown directly in the editor window, e.g. 

- above of the variable
- next to the variable
- at the end of the line

noting that some prerequisite work for this landed in eclipse 4.23 https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.23/platform.php#inline-debug-values
