Eclipse: Hover broken in debug perspective

Question

Since upgrading Eclipse (Galileo build 20090920-1017), hover in debug no longer displays a variable's value. Instead, hover behaves as if I were in normal Java perspective:

I've tried cleaning the project, re-importing it, etc., all to no avail. Anything I'm missing here?

Answer 1

Go to Window - Preferences - Java - Editor - Hovers.

1. Is "Combined Hover" selected? Uncheck it; apply; close the window; restart debugging session; go back; check it again; apply.
2. If the above doesn't help, you can check "Variable Values" option and specify a modifier key for it. Not as convenient as "combined", but should work.

Answer 2

The problem was "fixed" by renaming the package.

For whatever reason, this refactoring triggered something in Eclipse, and immediately I was able to view variable values during debugging. Also, when I go back into Preferences under Hovers, I can now see the "Variable Values" option.

Answer 3

I went to Window - Preferences - Java - Editor - Hovers, hit "Restore Defaults" and "Apply" and that fixed it for me, even though nothing actually changed in the settings...
