I'll explain with pictures from Eclipse Debugger
I have an Class called "FieldContext", (I can't edit it, it's compiled in the Java OVal API)
Within "FieldContext" on the eclipse variable tab are "CompileTimeType" and "field"
Q1 Is there a legend for the icons in the variables tab? like what the red box with the "F" means + yellow diamond boxes?
Now I want to access the fields inside the "field" object (RedBox) .. preferably "name"
But the "FieldContext" does not have a "getField()" method, yet it has a "getCompileTimeType()" method.
Q2 So is there anyway to get that field object being a "SerializableField" Class from the "FieldContext"?
If eclipse debugger can see/get/edit them then I hope I can do the same in Java.
