Thanks for your answer. However, I found the following statement in
the Java Debug Wire Protocol specification:

"GetValues Command (1)

Returns  the  value  of  one or more local variables in a given frame.
Each variable must be visible at the frame's code index. Even if local
variable  information is not available, values can be retrieved if the
front-end  is  able  to  determine  the  correct local variable index.
(Typically, this index can be determined for method arguments from the
method   signature   without   access  to  the  local  variable  table
information.)"


Do you think that it could help? I have not been help to understand
how to build the local variable index, do you have any suggestion?

Thanks again.
