How to log warnings and infos in eclipse 3.7 ? [message #713361] Mon, 08 August 2011 11:47 Go to next message

Hello everybody !

We are migrating our rcp project from eclipse 3.4 to 3.7. Instead of the eclipse ILog we now use the OSGi-LogService, but now only errors are written to the ".log"-File. Warnings and infos are ignored.
What must be done that messages with any log-level will be written to the log-File ?

We figured out that EclipseLogWriter#isLoggable(Bundle,String,int) returns only true for log level: LogService.LOG_ERROR.

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,

Did you try to specify -Declipse.log.level=(ERROR|WARNING|INFO|ALL)

I am not sure what that does to the log though. It could be that you will see
more then you like.

Best regards,

Wim

Hi Wim,

thanks for your answer! We tried your idea, -Declipse.log.level only works if one use the eclipse log, it has no effect when we use the OSGi-Logging Service. The key is in the method #isLoggable(..) in class org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseLogWriter. Its last line decides that only errors go to the log file if no other case match (that is our case).

org.eclipse.osgi_3.7.0.v20110613.jar
org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseLogWriter

public boolean isLoggable(Bundle bundle, String loggableName, int loggableLevel) {
  if (!enabled)
    return false;
  
  if (loggerName.equals(loggableName))
    return isLoggable(convertSeverity(loggableLevel));
  
  if (EclipseLogHook.PERF_LOGGER_NAME.equals(loggableName))
    // we don't want to do anything with performance logger unless  
    // this is the performance logger (check done above).
    return false;

  if (!EclipseLogHook.EQUINOX_LOGGER_NAME.equals(loggerName))
    // only the equinox log writer should pay attention to other logs
    return false;
		
  // for now only log errors; probably need this to be configurable
  return loggableLevel == LogService.LOG_ERROR;
}


I think the quick solution is to create a fork of bundle org.eclipse.osgi and change :

return loggableLevel == LogService.LOG_ERROR;

to :

return true;

The slow solution is to open a ticket at bugzilla, to motivate the eclipse developers to make it configurable, as there comment already says.

Hi Chris,

Yes. I see.

The best option would be to not return true but

return system.getproperty("osgi.loglevel.or.something").equals(
