How to watch variables when tracing over JRE in Eclipse?

Question

I found that when tracing JRE source code in eclipse, I can't see variable values. Is it possible to see them somehow?

EDIT

The answer was to rebuild rt.jar. Just attaching JDK sources is not sufficient.

Do you mean debugging java code ? if so if you set a breakpoint a debugger should stop there and you are going to see all variables in a current context. You can even mouseover your source code to see values

Not if the class has been compiled without debug information. This is the OPs issue. – davidfrancis Apr 05 '12 at 23:05
