Whenever it encounters a problem that does not warrant launching a dialog, Eclipse saves a report in the workspace log file. The log file can be looked at in four alternative ways.
- Window > Show View > PDE Runtime > Error Log. This gives you a view with the contents of the .log file.</li>
- Help > About Eclipse Platform > Configuration Details. This prints out a great number of details about the environment and also concatenates the .log file. Great for including in a bug report.
- Locate the file yourself, see workspace/.metadata/.log.
- Start Eclipse using -consoleLog. This will print the messages that normally go to the .log file in the enclosing shell/command window.
