Console

ACTF uses the Eclipse Console to display messages generated during any Inter-JVM (Internal) AOP-based validation.

The Console View provides status messages and displays execution errors that occurred during an AOP-based validation when a Java Application with ACTF launch configuration is used

Note: The messages are not displayed in the console until after the target Java Gui is terminated. The console will appear empty until the gui is terminated even if errors occur during the validation. Once the gui is terminated, status messages and execution errors will display in the console. If AOP verbosity is enabled, messages generated by the AOP engine will also appear in the console.

Some of the status messages displayed during a normal validation are shown below:

Execution errors and Java stack traces may also be displayed as shown below.

Note: The fact that messages are displayed in this area of the GUI does not imply that execution failed. Any number of messages might be present in this field and the validation report may be fully accurate and valid. In particular, the following sorts of messages are common and can be ignored:
