Today I've been thinking about different ways of configuring tracing. I think that it doesn't make sense to create extra launch configuration because Erlang is different than Java. I mean that if you want to trace node you can always connect to it without stopping it first and recompiling with special options or whatever. I thought that we could add two new views: 1. View containing control panel using which user could define filters. For example there could be such widgets as: - edit field for editing tracing patterns - list of patterns which are being used - buttons for adding and deleting patterns from list 2. View containing sequence diagram To make it more useful I could create new perspective which would contain those views. And now, whenever user decides to trace running program he/she just inputs new filters and that's all. Does it make sense?:)
Btw, I'm rather new to plugin development so I'd like to ask something: as I wrote before I'd like to create some kind of control panel with widgets like buttons, text fields, lists etc. But is it possible to create an eclipse view with such elements? I suppose I should use JFace, am I right? Are there any good examples for it?

Good! Another thing that is important to discuss is how to configure the tracing. It has to be easy for the users. The Eclipse way with launch configurations is not what I call easy and we have some open issues about providing some other way to launch/debug/trace/etc Erlang code. We don't have any good ideas yet, maybe you can come in with a fresh mind and help out! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
