I have written an application that I have wrapped into an eclipse plugin (PDE). When I run the plugin from eclipse it either goes well or it fails.
If it fails I don't get any feedback on where it went wrong. I am using a logger (logBack) but the messages don't get printed in the console.
I guess its because it works as a plugin which don't have access to the console in eclipse while running. As an alternative I have used JOption.showMessageDialog(...) which works fine but I would like to avoid cluttering my code with these swing boxes and stick with the logger.
Any suggestions on how to get the logger info printed while running the plugin?
