I don't think I've restarted Eclipse 3.7.2, and with the following class I
have the problem that if I set a break point at the line "out.close", I
cannot see variable "data" in the variable view.

import java.io.Serializable
import java.rmi.Remote
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream

object ChapterTwoAnnotations extends App {

    @scala.SerialVersionUID(1L)
    @scala.cloneable
    @scala.remote
    class SomeGreatScalaClass extends Serializable  {
        override def clone = super.clone
    }

    val obj = new SomeGreatScalaClass

    val bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream
    val out = new ObjectOutputStream(bos)
    val data = out.writeObject(obj)
    out.close

    val copy = obj.clone

    print("done, serialised it was " + data + " and cloned it was " +
System.identityHashCode(copy) + " compared to " +
System.identityHashCode(obj))
