We could take it a step further and provide a "talkback" feature much
like the one in Mozilla where individual log entries, or the entire
log, could be emailed back to the development team. The plugin
that was the source of the error would have to specify a contact email
address so that Eclipse.org people aren't flooded with 3rd party
plugin errors, and the "talkback" feature would read this email
address (or at least allow you to type in an arbitrary email address).
