Sign Up

Eclipse.org Projects

Every Eclipse project can sign up to receive error reports. To do so, file a request in AERI's Bugzilla component.

Non-Eclipse.org Projects

Non-Eclipse.org projects can signup using the free error reporting service hosted by Codetrails. Check out [1] for details.

Documentation

Check out the Ctrlflow manual.

Disabling AERI in builds and runtime Eclipse

The automated error reporting disables itself if it cannot detect a system property called eclipse.buildId. This is usually the case if you execute a test suite with Maven Tycho. If you want the automated error reporting to stay enabled, set the system property to ‑Declipse.buildId=some-id in your Eclipse launch configuration.

In the case you run your test suite in a 'normal' eclipse installation which already has the buildId, you can disable error reporting completely by setting the system property ‑Dorg.eclipse.epp.logging.aeri.skipReports=true.

Note: In Aeri 1.x the property name was org.eclipse.epp.logging.aeri.ui.skipReports.

Enable additional debug output

AERI can write additional debug information to the error log, e.g.,:

  • Network exceptions on startup.
  • Explanation why an error log event was ignored.

To enable the debug output,

  • Open ${eclipse.working.dir}/.options and insert the line:
    org.eclipse.epp.logging.aeri.core/debug=true
    • On Mac it's .../Eclipse.app/MacOs/.options - next to the eclipse executable.
  • In your eclipse.ini add the following line before the -vmargs section:
    -debug
  • Restart Eclipse.

FAQ

How can I collect error reports for my own Eclipse plug-ins?

AERI 2.x offers an Eclipse extension point where projects can register their own servers/endpoints via plugin.xml. See [2] for details.

Can I send error reports for my own Eclipse RCP applications?

Yes. Watch this webinar for details and check out the examples in the git repository.
