Using console inside included BIRT scripts (initialize) [message #1404344]

I am trying to do some simple logging inside the BIRT initialize script but can't seem to figure it out. I'm sure I'm missing something basic....can someone point me?

Also; is it possible to dump the stacktrace to the log?

Start eclipsec.exe instead of eclipse.exe. Then, you can then do this to print to the console that is opened with Eclipse:

java.lang.System.out.println("print this to the console");

In onPrepare or initialize:

function log ( msg ){
Packages.java.lang.System.out.println("" + msg);
}
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("log", log);

The you can do simple logging anywhere in the report e.g.
log("something on the console whatever System.out means for you ");
