How to access objects and variables while debugging in Eclipse

Question

I'm debugging an Eclipse project in which I have an object (specifically a ResourceDelta object), In the Variables view I can see a lot of useful information that I need but I'm not sure how to access those values, i.e. this is how my Variables view looks like while I'm debugging:

I need to get the newInfo and oldInfo values, but if I use the content assistant in the test1 object only this methods are available:

How can I get those values?

Yes, but I need to get that values programmatically, in other words, I need to assign those values to another variables, sorry if I'm not explaining myself well, English is not my first language — CIOC

Are you sure those variables are not accessible? Are they private? — Christian Tapia

They are not private, I was expecting to access those values something like this test1.oldInfo and test1.newInfo but I guess it's not that easy :) — CIOC

You can expand the tree for newinfo or oldinfo in the variables window - clicking the > just before that variable will show the details of that object , along with their values.

What I need to do is to get that values programmatically, in other words, I need to assign those values to another variables, I was expecting to access those objects like this test1.oldInfo and test1.newInfo but oldInfo and newInfo are not listed in the content assistant, but in the Variables view I can see that they are under test1 object.

This depends upon the access modifiers on the newinfo and oldinfo members defined inside the ResourceDelta class. I am suspecting these are declared as protected. The debugger in eclipse is able to show even private members so dont be confused into thinking that this alone should allow you to access these fields programmatically.
