Currently JDIModelPresentation doesnt return foreground color for IWatchExpression and JavaInspectExpression, so if the user labels an object, they wont get highlighted. Unfortunately, the 'Variables' and the 'Expressions' view use different logic to return the 'Value' of a variable, so we can't easily add the label there.

Can you explain the usecase? Variables view has many objects and it makes sense there but in expressions view, what will be the purpose of highlighting? I believe people will use either Expressions or labelling of objects? may be I am missing something.
The problem, for me, that the 2 views are inconsistent, I would expect that if I label an object, it will show up everywhere as highlighted. Currently, the Expression view highlight the object, only if, that object is not the root one, which looks bad. So, if you label a list, and an item from that list, and you add that list to the Expression view, only the item will be highlighted.
