The location of the log file can be obtained easily as follows:

File fLogFile;
fLogFile = (Platform.getLogFileLocation()).toFile();

In it, one may write the Log Entries using whatever file handling mechanism
one likes in simple text form.

Each new Entry must be formatted as follows(for the Error Log View to be
able to display):
!ENTRY <pluginID> <severity> <code> <date>
!SUBENTRY <depth> <pluginID> <severity> <code> <date> (Optional)

For more information about how the Log File is handled, you may find the
relevant classes in the source of the Plug-In org.eclipse.pde.runtime.

regards,
Viraj

Look at org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform#getLog(Bundle). You can write
to the resulting log with an IStatus object.
