How to copy watch expression value in eclipse?

Question

How to copy watch expression value in eclipse? Whenever I use "Copy Expression" from drop down menu it gets me something like this '"System.currentTimeMillis()" (pending)'. Is the pending part should have been the value of system time?

Answer 1

Could not find a way to do this directly - but here's a workaround: Use

System.out.println(YourExpression.foo())

Then you can copy the output from the Console.

Answer 2

This worked for me:

Select the expression, right click and disable.
Then copy/paste as normal
Then right click and enable

Should get something like this (and you can just delete the disabled tag):

"System.currentTimeMillis()" value (disabled)
