[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Advanced Tracing Preferences

["Stef van Dijk" <Stef_van_Dijk@xxxxxxx>]

Well I've solved my own problem. It seems there's a bug (?) in the PDE
launcher.
I had set my Run-time Arguments is the PDE Preferences to -consoleLog and
the result was that the PDE launcher was concatenating the -debug directly
after it (ie, "-consoleLog-debug"). By the time it reached
InternalBootLoader.processCommandLine it came in as a single argument
(presumably it would have been split had there been an intervening space?)
and thus debugRequested was never turned on and the .options file was never
processed.
The PDE Preferences does respect trailing spaces, so you can work around
this by setting the arguments to "-consoleLog ".
