I've some problem doing error handling in a RCP application.
I'd like to log REALY EVERY exception with log4j and additionally i will
show an error dialog for each unchecked exception. Therefore i overwrote
the eventLoopException(Throwable exception) to display the error dialog
and i added an ILogListener to the Platform to log all exceptions with
log4j.
My problem is that some exceptions still produce no dialog and the
stacktrace is displayed within a view instead.

So is there any article or something else for correct exception handling
within a RCP application?

I don't believe you will be able to use
WorkbenchAdvisor.eventLoopException to log every exception that ever
gets thrown. That method is a latch ditch attempt to catch Throwables
that aren't properly caught and handled elsewhere in the code.
