Classes View

See Also

The Classes view in the Debugger window is specific to the Java 2 debugger. You switch the display of the Classes view by clicking the Classes button in the View toolbar in the Debugger window.

The Classes view displays the hierarchy of all classes that have been loaded into the virtual machine hosting the program that is being debugged. The contents of the Classes view is dependent on the current context. When you change the current session, the Classes view is updated to show the classes for that session.

You can click the turner control to the left of the class name to expand or collapse the class. You can inspect the fields, constructors, and methods in your program as well as inspect the value of static variables.

The following table describes the icons used in the Classes view.
