It's cumbersome, but I've had luck with Evaluate Expression <fully qualified
class>.<static>. For example, in my database test class, I can evaluate
com.baa.testdb.TestDB.useHost to see the static useHost string's id, then
look at that id to see the string. None of useHost, this.useHost, or
TestDB.useHost works.
