Description Uliyana Markova

In the list of high level documentation topics, it was impossible to determine which of them is related to using the Log and Trace Analyzer. 

The title "Determining problems in distributed applications" covers content that is mostly about using the LTA. Recommendation is to change to the title in such a way that it indicates content is related to using the Log and Trace analyzer. This will help the user in several ways:
- quickly get to the LTA help
- stay assured that all LTA help is under one topic and there is no need to browse around to see if there is anything else under other topics.

This defect is normal and not major because the user can alternatively search on "Log and Trace Analyzer" if they know that's the help they are looking for. Still, I consider it important to fix.

Will try to address this in 4.4.  Could add "with Log and Trace Analyzer" to the topic title if it does not make it too long.

Added sizing.

Targetting to fix in i3 and increasing priority to indicate it is planned for
4.4.

Committed fix to TPTP Head CVS.

Fix was to add "using log analysis" to the toc label and the title and header of the corresponding doc file.  We decided not to use my original suggestion of adding the tool name "Log and Trace Analyzer" because the tool name is different in the RCP Log Analyzer which also packages the help.

Files changed:

org.eclipse.tptp.platform.log.doc.user/logging_toc.xml
org.eclipse.tptp.platform.log.doc.user/concepts/ceautcom.xhtml
