Description David Green

2011-03-03 15:09:50 EST

Far too many log entries are created by Mylyn "Could not log interaction event".  Such log entries are created as Eclipse is used, resulting in 100's such log entries, making the error log hard/impossible to use to look at other things.

Log stack trace:

I'll take a look. Please note that the usage monitor is part of an unsupported Incubator feature.

I have committed a fix for this.  The problem stems from the file not being created.  Marking this as resolved.
