AFAIK there's not standard way. You could write a converter that does this
and use that in the debug view AFAIK. Alternatively you could write a
method in some utility class that does conversion int2hex for example and
add an expression like this "YourUtility.int2hex( yourVar )".

Kind regards

There is an option for primitive Types (int, long,...).
Switch to Debug perspective.
In the Variables view click the "menu" item (black triangle item) and
select "Java Primitives...".
In the Dialog you can choose between Hex view, Ascii view and unsigned
(for byte).
