Greetings all. I'm trying to figure out the best practices for logging debug
information. Basically, I've got a plugin out in the field and as users
experience problems, I find I need to know certain things. These are things
that during development i stuffed in system.out.println() calls or some such
thing and then removed before deployment. turns out, i need to know those
things now.
I implemented a Log class per the "commercial quality plugins" book, but
it's not really helping me. No matter what I try, adding the flags into a
..options file does not put the information I'm seeking into the eclipse log
file.
What I really need is something like this: a way to have the user be able to
turn "robust debugging" on, either via a preference or a command line flag
or something, and have my code respond to that and log to a specific file
that the user can send to me. I don't want the user to submit the entire
eclipse .log file... just the file that contains my output.
What do you all do for situations like this?
thanks a lot.
Marc
