Description Rafael Chaves

On 3.0, many features moved out runtime to the OSGi framework. We need to get
rid of debug options that are not used anymore in runtime, for instance, those
related to class loading and plug-in life-cycle.

We kept them for backward compatibility :-)

Comment 2 Jeff McAffer

some shoudl be removed.  Others should be made to work  and still others should 
be added.  lets make the set of options consistent and useful.

This could be fixed later in 3.1

Not critical to introduce noise with such a change.
Fine 3.2 item.

Comment 6 Jeff McAffer

Actually, I beg to differ.  Refining the tracing and debugging settings is a 
fine polish item for 3.1.  This greatly enhances the servicability of Eclipes 
in the field and thus our ability to extract information out of misbehaving 
systems.

This needs to be done with care but I'm not expecting any actual logic 
changes, just some more ifs and output etc.

Rafael, you opened it, you fix it :-)

Too late to fix in 3.1 now. Release to HEAD first day of 3.2 development. :-)

Created attachment 22819 [details]
patch for org.eclipse.core.runtime

I propose we limit ourselves to fixing up existing/cleaning up unused options
(see patch). 

New debug options could be added incrementally, when deemed necessary.

Fixed. Released to HEAD.
