The Display Variable implementation is a quick-and-dirty one that relies on
some existing C-oriented parsing function to determine the symbol under the
cursor. Clearly this function does not understand Java syntax for qualified
symbols. My plan is to provide a more robust implementation ASAP.
Meanwhile, you can get the object ID, using the JKDBug->Evaluate Expression
command. Simply evaluate "tabInfo". In fact, that is how the Display
Variable command works. It simply evaluates the symbol at point.
