I'm writing Java program in eclipse 4.3 (Kepler). As the figure 1 shows, when the cursor hovers on an object, it prompts the value of the object. But if the cursor is on the field of an object, the variable value doesn't show. (Figure 2) Figure 1 Figure 2 Visual Studio however can show the value of an expression, see figure 3. Figure 3 Is there anyway to make eclipse to show field value of an object when my cursor hovers on it?

Eclipse is different for the debugging, you have to search for your variable in another frame like presented here
