The Eclipse error log captures internal errors that are caused
by the operating system or your code.
To view the Eclipse error log:
Switch to the Plug-in Development perspective.
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
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.
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.
