[news.eclipse.tools] Re: debugging interfaces

["Darin Swanson" <darin_swanson@xxxxxxx>]

In the latest 2.1 integration builds, if a variable's concrete
(implementation) type differs from its declared type,
there are context menu actions in the variables view to open the two
different types.

In 2.0 builds and greater, if you select your "bag" variable in the
variables view, and use the context menu to invoke
the "Inspect" action, you can look at all of the members associated with
that variable.

Hope this helps
