I've been asked to run

eclipse -debug xxx/.options > tracelog.txt

in a DOS box on W2k in order to debug a problem with a plugin, but while
it works in M7 ( I am informed ) when run in RC1, a second DOS window
opens and the debug information scrolls past without going to the .txt file.

How do I do this now in RC1?

Try adding -consoleLog See if that helps.

No change - still does not give me the debug log to a file.
Just checked back to M8 and have the same problem.

Come on guys and galls - is there no way of getting the debug
information into a file that I can forward to allow the developer to
sort out remaining Eclipse3 porting problems?

how about using the standard output/error redirection?

for example: eclipse.exe -debug >out.txt

Read the notes :)
That is EXACTLY what I am doing, but apparently from version M8 onwards,
out.txt is populated with a samll amount of java data, while all the
debug information which I need scrolls away in the SECOND DOS window
which was opened by the Java startup !

You'd probably have more luck w/o using the exe. Try "java -cp
startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main > yourFile.txt"

I believe the exe starts a second process (javaw.exe) and you really
want to redirect output of that process, not the output of the exe.

good luck!

Try bypassing eclipse.exe. Running from the eclipse directory, you can try:
java -cp startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -debug >out.txt

That is sounding promising, but I am informed that you used to be able
to debug without all this agro :)

Stuck into machine rebuilding (two sick windows machines) so it will
have to wait until the morning to try. TA
