Does Eclipse have a variable visualizer?

In Visual Studio, there is a feature to add a custom visualizer to the IDE. This allows you to write your own dialog showing the contents of complex objects at run-time (i.e. it might take a Person record and show the forename, surname and date of birth).

I can't find this feature in Eclipse/Java, but was wondering if it might be called something different?

Thanks, Rich

The closest thing that you can get in Eclipse is Variables View and Expressions. view. You can also Add a Watch Expression in variables view to track any particular object.

I don't know about a special dialog, but in general a custom implementation of .toString() do the trick.
