I have to trace a lot of code, does someone know a program (bettrean eclipse plug-in) that can help me in tracing the methods of myapplications? I mean, I'd like to avoid writing System.out.println(...) for each method.
I think you haven't explored the debug feature ineclipse. We can debug both ordinary java programs andeclipse plug-ins as well. It is comparable to anyother powerful debugger for java.Just double click a line of code where you want to puta breakpoint, and Run-> Debug As ->Run-time workbench.The execution starts in debug mode.FYI: More information about eclipse and its plug-inscan be found on the eclipse discussion forum atwww.eclipse.org.
You will find Log4J helpful for your scenario.Again,you will have to do some coding for the plugin to understand/trace yourmethods.More Info at http://www.almaer.com/blog/archives/000330.html
