IWatchExpressionFactoryAdapter (Eclipse Platform API Specification)

All Known Subinterfaces:

IWatchExpressionFactoryAdapterExtension
```
public interface IWatchExpressionFactoryAdapter
```
An optional adapter used to create a watch expression for a selected variable.
The 'Create Watch Expression' action is enabled for instances of IVariable that have an associated IWatchExpressionDelegate registered for that debug model. When a watch expression factory adapter is available for a variable, the factory is consulted to create a watch expression for that variable. When no adapter is provided, the watch expression is generated based on the variable's name.

Also see the optional interface IWatchExpressionFactoryAdapterExtension.

Clients may implement this interface.
