Configuring plug-in logging preferences using the plugin.xml file

For plug-ins implementing the Common Logging strategy, the following extension point should be added to the plug-in's plugin.xml file to configure the logging level:

<extension point="com.ibm.etools.common.logging.commonLoggingOptions">
 	<options level="ALL"/> 
 	
 		<CommonBaseEvent creationTime="2004-06-03T19:45:03.341Z">
 			<extendedDataElements name="Code">
 			</extendedDataElements>
 		</CommonBaseEvent>   
</extension> 
 
The level attribute of the options element is the default logging level associated with the plugin. The options element is optional.

The valid level attribute of the options element settings are as follows:

The CommonBaseEvent element specifies the default values for the plug-in's customized Common BaseEvent factory which may be used to create configured Common Base Events. This element is optional as well.
