Description Miles Parker

This is probably tilting at windmills, but could platform consider copying error log capability to IDE, preferably in o.e.ui.ide.app, or into it's own feature, so that people can use it without carrying all of the other PDE stuff along with it?

This goes all the way back to Bug 50517. Apparently, the PDE folks really don't want to move it, so I'm suggesting copying the functionality. :)

The 'Error Log' view is in a separate bundle, is that insufficient for your needs, Miles? You want us to merge it into another feature/spin another feature for it?

See my note on the other bug. The problem is that it is included in a bundle that carries dependencies for pde ui, help, forms and jdt(!) Granted many of those are optional but in many many usages that is what you're going to end up with.

Sorry, I meant feature, not bundle. It seems to me that it is much better practice to use feature dependencies rather than plugins, and so I'm asking it to be considered at that level.

Ooops, feeling kind of dumb here. :( I see that even though the id still has pde.runtime, it's actually in o.e.ui.ide.

But it's not in its own bundle, afaict, and o.e.ui.ide does bring a bunch of other stuff in with it.

I'm beginning to think we're talking about two different things here...

Miles, the 'Error Log' view is in the org.eclipse.ui.views.log bundle.

I am, of course, talking about 3.6 here. It used to be in a PDE bundle but the good folks of PDE spun it into its own bundle.

Oh yeah, I see that now. #) I was doing a search for type and the result gave me the old internal one in ui.ide, not the internal LogView in o.e.ui.views.log. So that's three assumptions in a row. Perhaps this sad little bug report will be of some use to someone who is as lost in the world of RCP dependencies as I feel right now.
