Uh, good question.  There are a number of different ways to access the log in Eclipse, and it’s a bit of a mess.

There’s the Eclipse Platform log, accessed via Platform.getLog(Bundle) that returns an ILog.
There’s the OSGi LogService, whose implementation in Equinox talks to the Eclipse Log.
There’s the Equinox FrameworkLog, which is accessed as a service.

I get a bit lost figuring out which log to use.  I end up using Platform.getLog() since it’s easy.
