Description

Variables in the variable pane show the actual objects as they exist in the running JVM. When debugging groovy code, this is not always the best view. For example, when stepping through a Closure, the parameters are wrapped in Reference objects.

I wonder if this will be as easy as calling the Evaluator with a groovy file name instead of a java file name.

See Evaluator.getClasses() line 133

Include some compiler option that can convert to a groovy file extension instead of a java file extension.

Unfortunately not as easy as I would have hoped.

Unless we can figure out more specific cases, I'm thinking that this is fixed since we now support "Show logical structure" for Reference objects by default.

Since groovy-eclipse now supports groovy-aware debug evaluation, this problem is not really too bad any more.
