    Hi there.
    I am following the very lucid and informative tutorials
    (Thanks for your hard work!) but whenever I open my scrapbook and
    try to inspect the evaluation of a variable, the debugger just runs
    instead. I cannot view the subscreen as seen in tutorial 6 at
    2:07.
    This is annoying me!
    Please help.
    Thank you again for your time and efforts.

      Hi. Did you look at the two forum topics just below on the scrapbook? Does either of these apply to you? What operating system are you running? Mark

      Hi again.
      Yep, I looked at those two topics, but my pc is standalone.
      It is not networked.
      It's strange indeed. I have the following code in my scrapbook page:

      Person p = new Person();
      p.setName("Fred");
      p.toString();
      p

      I highlight it and click "Inspect result of Evaluating selected text" and a new debug horizontal tab opens below.
      If I close the debug tab, I can't click inspect again until I click the
      red square "Stop the evaluation" to the right of the inspect button.
      And when I do click "Stop the evaluation" I get an exception.
      I can't see why the debugger should run when I click inspect...
      Im running XP home edition and jre 1.6.0_06
      Best regards.

      Hi. I haven't heard of this problem. What Eclipse version and distribution did you install? I wonder if it would make sense to try downloading the 3.3.2 version and re-installing in a new directory? Mark
