After the recent update to Mac OS Big Sur I can’t debug my java projects with Eclipse 09-2020. If I try to inspect the value of any expression, I just get an empty window. I’m working with Oracle JDK 11.
Is there anything I can do, beside waiting for the next eclipse update or using Windows
I got the same issue on newly updated Mac Big Sur. Just scroll or dragging your mouse pointer over the empty debug window, the text will show up.
Also, when the debugger jump to another file, it will show only the line that the debugger is pointing at, all other lines stay as same as the last file. Just scroll over it, the file content will show up
This seems to be fixed in 2020-12 eclipse, which you can download here:

One way I have found so far to always get the variable inspector window to show data is to place the mouse pointer over the bottom right corner as close to the corner as possible without going outside of the box. Usually the cursor would switch to a double arrow to inform you that you can expand the window, but it the cursor stays a single pointer. Now, click and drag to expand. The data should now show up and can be inspected.
I have upgraded STS to 4.9.0 e4.18, file name: spring-tool-suite-4-4.9.0.RELEASE-e4.18.0-macosx.cocoa.x86_64 Issue is resolved for me now. Regards
