Description
Dani Megert
3.8 M5. When I start with -debug and an options file that has tracing options enabled, it looks weird that the tracing preference is not enabled. Fixed in master http://git.eclipse.org/c/pde/eclipse.pde.ui.git/commit/?id=ab9201ae04a5041963ec5c9e836a8617090771bd I took a different approach. If you launch with -debug/options, the preference page gives you a warning. If you want to override, you can check the enable button on the page and we use your previous preference settings. If you restart with -debug mode, we put the warning back. If you restart without -debug mode we continue to use the preference settings. I think this is a good solution because we always use the launch -debug/options if available and doing so does not destroy any existing settings. Dani, please let me know what you think. > Dani, please let me know what you think.
I like it!
The wording of the text seems wrong though: AFAIK there's only one options file being passed with -debug.
"printed to system output stream" sounds too technical.
Reopening so we don't forget about the label.
. New strings are as follows: Modify the tracing options that a plug-in offers. This application was launched in debug mode with a tracing options file. You can override the current settings by enabling tracing below. |
