I assume that to write to the workspace log I need to get the ILog instance for that plugin, but at that point things get a bit murky for me.

Some docs say each bundle has its own ILog, other external tips refer to using Activator.getDefault() or Platform.getLog(). The static nature of these calls makes me think that they get a global ILog, which probably isn't what I want. On the other hand, maybe some classloading majick makes there be one instance of each for the current plugin? Or maybe there's soe log support specific to Xtext that makes all of this moot?
