Runtime diagnostic/debugging strategies. [message #155923] Wed, 12 November 2003 16:14 Go to next message

I have developed several Eclipse plugins and delivered them as a packaged
application. On some machines the application hangs. My basic question is
what can be done to diagnosis a delivered application. e.g. commanline
startup options, etc.

I'm familiar and have used the tracing support within the PDE, can this
facility be used in a delivered application? I've also read the javadoc on
ILog & ILogListener and wonder if those provide some support? Perhaps
better than seeking specific answers here would be references to Eclipse
articles, books, Javadoc that I need to read before implementing a generic
strategy.

TIA,
Mike

The Eclipse tracing support is enabled by:

- Putting a file called ".options" in the Eclipse install directory
- Running eclipse with "-debug" command line argument.

The flags that go into the .options file are specified by various
plugins. Each plugin that uses tracing publishes a template ".options"
file in their plugin install directory that lists and describes all the
flags. Search the plugins directory for files called ".options" to see
what's there. If you want to add your own trace options, the API to use
is Plugin.isDebugging and Platform.getDebugOption. Look through Eclipse
source for examples on how they are used (for example
org.eclipse.core.runtime plugin).
