Eclipse debug variable values don't appear

I'm currently coding with Java in Eclipse, and I'm trying to use Eclipse's built in debugger to try and debug my code. However, once I enter debug mode and try to run the program till the breakpoint, the variables aren't showing up in the variable window. Any ideas?

I just had a similar problem, I could only see method arguments and this members, but not local variables. I was searching in all possible project settings and found out this checkbox ("Add variable attributes to generated class files") wasn't checked. Make sure all 3 options (used by debugger) are on :

This is usually caused by a rendering bug in Eclipse. Often letting the application run past the breakpoint, then trying to re-run again to the breakpoint fixes the display. Other times you have to restart the IDE.

Make sure you're not in the Breakpoints tab as opposed to the Variables tab on the top-right window in the Debug perspective. When in doubt, simply go to Window > Show View > Variables.
