Method Detail

getTraceOn

public static boolean getTraceOn()

To use dynamic tracing (User instructions): Create a file ".options" in the same directory as your eclipse executable. Put this in the file:

  org.eclipse.ptp.pldt.common/debug = true
  org.eclipse.ptp.pldt.common/debug/pldtTrace = true
 

Then launch eclipse in debug mode using the -debug option, and mirror the Console view output to the command line console using the -consoleLog option. (Maybe Linux already spits out the console, not sure.)

 eclipse - debug - consoleLog
 

When you run with this tracing enabled, it will print out a bunch of trace information to the console. At least MPI artifact analysis has been enabled for user-directed tracing.

Returns:
