Debugging JavaFX

[Michael Paus]

Oh I see. I should have read the text more carefully. I confused local 
with internal variables.
I can indeed not see variables with a local scope inside a method and I 
also don't see the
names of parameters. They are named arg0, ... but I do see their values.
This behaviour seems to be different to the JDK sources.
