Viewing the Eclipse error log

The Eclipse error log captures internal errors that are caused by the platform or your code.

To view the Eclipse error log:

  1. Switch to the Plug-in Development perspective.
  2. In the Tasks view, in the bottom right pane, click the Error Log tab.
    The error log is displayed, showing the following for each error:
    • The status of the error (for example, error or warning)
    • A brief description of the error
    • Which plug-in the error derived from
    • The date and time that the error was thrown
  3. If an error has a plus sign (+) at the start of it, this means that it is a complex problem, and there are a number of errors contributing to it. Click the plus sign to view the individual errors.
  4. To see the details of a particular problem, double-click on the entry in the Tasks view. A separate window is displayed showing more details of the error.
