Inspect data while debuging in java

Question

Suppose we are in a middle of debugging a application and you have a linkedlist, hashmap or other collection framework implementation with 1000 of items. Is there a possibility to inspect the list or map over a given item while debugging and not programmatically ? Suppose we are using eclipse as a ide.

While debugging, select the variable and press Ctrl+Shift+I, it's the same procedure for variables of any type. — Federico Cristina

In your Debug perspective

There is Variables view , where you can see inner structure and elements of every object in current context.

In Expressions view you can add custom one-line expression to get any result.

Maybe, Display view will be useful, where you can execute set of Java expressions.
