If it's really an issue you might consider put a log statement with a 
log level of FINEST on that variable.  If it's an issue now it's likely 
to be an issue at some point in the future.

You strike me as new to Java, if not new to programming in general. 
This statement from the log4j page is interesting:

"Inserting log statements into your code is a low-tech method for 
debugging it. It may also be the only way because debuggers are not 
always available or applicable. This is often the case for distributed 
applications.

"On the other hand, some people argue that log statements pollute source 
code and decrease legibility. (We believe that the contrary is true)."

I've also found that well placed log statements are a faster way of 
debugging than stepping through code in a debugger.  And debuggers can't 
be used when timing is a source of error.
