Eclipse Debug Perspective: How to search a value in Variables View

Hi I have a java project and I need to know if it's possible to search a variable value (e.g. "myvalue") from the all variables values in Variables View in Eclipse Debug Perspective.

Would be great if you could search all the variables a specific value chain

Thanks in advance

It seems that the evars plugin has not been updated for several years now, and when I have previously tried to get it working, I failed. For me it would be extremely useful to be able to filter the view of variables whilst debugging in eclipse, via xpath - it is a great idea. So I don't understand why this now out dated plugin seems to have been the only attempt to realise such an idea.

Can anybody else shed any light on this?

Try the evars plug-in. You can use XPath notation to find variables/values when trying to debug. As far as I know, there's not a standard way to do what you want in Eclipse without installing additional plug-ins.
