-k.

Generating logging information from the eclipse framework is pretty straight forward. Create an .options file and start eclipse with: eclipse -debug <path to your .options file> -vm <path to your jre>\bin\java. The debug information will be written to the console.

For example an .options file with the following contents would log information on the JDT builders:

org.eclipse.jdt.core/debug=true
org.eclipse.jdt.core/debug/builder=true
