Question

I use the error log view in Eclipse quite often to track behaviour during debug, but when I log a large amount of things (the limit is currently 50), they fall off the edge and I have to dive into the text file version of the log.

Is there any way to increase the size of the error log?

Answer 1

YOu can set the eclipse.log.size.max property in your config.ini
By default it should be set to 1000 lines though

Is that the logfile you need?

Edit – for the error log, the number is controlled by the filter option.
Select ‘filters…’ from the error log drop down menu, then change the number of lines in the ‘limit visible events to:’ which defaults to 50.
