Answer 1

1. Right click variable
2. Evaluate expression
3. Type *nameOfYourArray*.toString()
4. Click evaluate
5. Ctrl-C to get content

Answer 2

To get the value in the clipboard using copy value, you need to define a "Java Data Type Renderer" to interpret the content of your array.

• Right click on your array variable
• Select "View as->Create..."
• In the "Java Data Type Renderers" window, create a new entry, set "When rendering a node, use following expression" with Arrays.toString(this).
• Apply, select your array variable and do Ctrl-C to get the content.
