No UI No Log? [message #658344]

I created a headless version of an RCP application (stripped all ui-related code and bundles and set -Declipse.ignoreApp=true -Dosgi.noShutdown=true). This works fine, but I no longer get a .log file (nor is a .metadata directory created) when running the application, and in consequence can't see what's going on...

Any ideas what I could have removed that killed the logging? Do I need to call PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(...) to initialize logging?

AFAIK that logging needs a data location (workspace), sometimes called
the instance area. Without that, it might appear in your
rcpapp/configuration directory if it is writable ... maybe.

-consoleLog will send it to stdout, but AFAIK doesn't write it down.

Thanks. Looks like when there is no workbench, the log is written to e.g. @osgi.configuration.area/1299610760169.log rather than .metadata/.log.
