How do I display a char array as an array of hex bytes or unsigned decimal numbers in the Eclipse Java debugger?

Question

This is exactly the same question as " How do I display a byte array as an array of hex bytes or unsigned decimal numbers in the Eclipse Java debugger? ",
except it applies to char[] rather than byte[] :

So, how would I view a char array in the Eclipse Java debugger as an array of hex bytes (2 digits each) or unsigned decimal numbers?

You could then use this technique for your char[], provided you did set first the "as the label for all variables" option
