21  * &lt;extension point=&quot;org.eclipse.debug.core.logicalStructureProviders&quot;&gt;
22  * &lt;logicalStructureProvider
23  * class=&quot;com.example.ExampleLogicalStructureProvider&quot;

25  * &lt;/logicalStructureProvider&gt;
26  * &lt;/extension&gt;
27  * </pre>
28  * </p>
29  * In the example above, the specified logical structure provider will be consulted for
30  * alternative logical structures for values from the <code>com.example.debug.model</code>
31  * debug model as they are displayed in the variables view.

35  * interface.
