The Error Log view is provided as a standard part of Eclipse, and is not a StreamBase-specific view. Nevertheless, TIBCO StreamBase® Studio takes advantage of the Error Log view.
The Error Log view captures all the warnings and errors logged by Eclipse plug-ins, including the plug-ins that implement
StreamBase Studio. The underlying log
file is stored in the .metadata
subdirectory of the Studio workspace. See Using StreamBase Logging to learn about the StreamBase logging mechanism and to learn how to use it in your own custom Java code.
