Description Szymon Ptaszkiewicz CLA 2014-11-18 10:30:14 EST 
If a plugin provides .options file, it is possible to enable tracing for this plugin via General > Tracing preference page. This bug covers adding the org.eclipse.jdt.core.manipulation plugin to this preference page to make it easier to debug problems in runtime without restarting Eclipse.
Comment 1 Szymon Ptaszkiewicz CLA 2014-11-19 06:07:11 EST 
During investigation it turned out the debug flag defined in the .options file is not used anywhere in this bundle nor is the isDebugging method used anywhere. It means that there in no point in adding this option to the preference page because changing its value will not have any effect on the behavior of the bundle.

Marking the bug WONTFIX until there is a reason to do it, i.e. debug options are used in code.
