Re: [ide-dev] A stack trace search engine to search exceptions occurring when developing Eclipse plug-ins?

It is a really cool Idea, as this will speed up the development, and increase the quality

IIUC your system will have, at least, these four components:

(1) a listener for each RCP Application launched from inside your development Eclipse, so you can listen to its Runtime Exceptions. 
(2) human component: the RCP developer who will read the possible solutions 
(3) a local running server, to which the listener will send the runtime exceptions. 
(4) a remote server with the logic to suggest the cause of the RCPApp error; the possible resolution(s). 

So the system can be represented by the image below: 
Inline image 1

My considerations below: 

Human factor: The developers should insert good descriptions for cause and possible solutions > we need good documentation, maybe a sensibilization campaign.

Response: we could also find similar stacktraces over the internet, using stackoverflow or similar websites :)

Adopters: Platform UI and RCP developers are the perfect early adopters

I think it would be really valuable hooked up for debug/runtime instances as the unhandled exception handler.
