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.
From the main menu, select Window > Show view > Other. Then select General > Error Log.
The
error log is displayed, showing the following information for each
error:
The status of the error (for example, error or warning)
A brief description of the error
From which plug-in the error derived
The date and time that the error was produced
If an error has a plus sign (+) at the start of it, 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
the entry in the Problems view. A separate window
is displayed, showing more details of the error.
