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:

start

public void start(org.osgi.framework.BundleContext context)
           throws java.lang.Exception

This method is called upon plug-in activation

Specified by:

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

stop

public void stop(org.osgi.framework.BundleContext context)
          throws java.lang.Exception

This method is called when the plug-in is stopped

Specified by:

stop in interface org.osgi.framework.BundleActivator

Overrides:

stop in class org.eclipse.ui.plugin.AbstractUIPlugin

Throws:

getDefault

public static CommonPlugin getDefault()

Returns the shared instance.

getImageDescriptor

public static org.eclipse.jface.resource.ImageDescriptor getImageDescriptor(java.lang.String path)

Returns an image descriptor for the image file at the given plug-in relative path.

Parameters:

path - the path

Returns:

the image descriptor

getStandardDisplay

public static org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display getStandardDisplay()
