Hi ,



Thank you. I will look into the ‘IDeveloperStudioLog’ class to get an idea 
about the logging information.




I’ve got some more questions regarding the project and developer studio. 




Regarding the Dev Studio, what  type of users are using it? Is it for the 
internal developers, external developers or for both? And when reporting the 
errors for the wso2 Jira, other than the information about the error, what 
information about users should be collected? I hope name and email would be 
sufficient enough. 

When considering the error reporting tool plugin found in Eclipse Mars, it 
provides a feature for the user to anonymize stack trace and anonymize messages 
if it contains sensitive data. Will that feature be useful for this proposed 
plugin as well?




Other than the automatic error reporting to the wso2 Jira, an additional 
feature can be added to the plugin for the user to enter an email address, if 
he wishes to send the error report to some person/mailing list, only if that is 
useful. Furthermore should the plugin provide a way to contact the development 
team through the IDE? Like may be a menu item, that pops up a window that 
allows user to send a message/email to the development team? Or is it just the 
automated error reporting functionality expected? 


Regarding the Jira wso2 online supporting system, I came through Jira Rest APIs 
that allows to access Jira services. Can those be used to access wso2 online 
supporting system as well? Or is there any other way or separate API for wso2 
online supporting system ?


And as additional features, would it be useful if reporter is provided on a 
feedback, where reporter can track the error and view the progress if he is 
interested? And also maybe to keep track of the errors sent previously and skip 
reporting the similar errors?


Regards

Hello Natheisha,



Please find my inline comments,





However I noticed the logging class  wso2 plugin has provided. Does it use any 
IStatus Objects or log any additional plugin specific information/error codes 
other than the normal error log info Eclipse provides? If so it would be useful 
to know about those in detail, when designing the error report format that need 
to be sent to the central server.




Please checkout the code and check the "IDeveloperStudioLog" class. this is the 
interface used to log information (warning, error etc) in developer studio. you 
can trace the implementation of this "DeveloperStudioLog" class and check how 
the logging is handled. If you need further information on this get back to us 
with specifics.




I studied about the error log file and how the error related information like 
meta Data, stack trace, system configuration info, java version, OS version and 
info about bundles, plugins involved, can be fetched into the proposed plugin, 
to create the error report to be sent. Is there any other information that I 
have missed and that should be included when sending the error report?




These information appears to be sufficient. Please check with the information 
that are being logged in Mars eclipse. 







And as you have replied to my previous email, it is clear that Eclipse platform 
errors as well as the devStudio plugin errors need to be reported. What about 
the expected errors where user expects, like exception to be thrown in 
particular situations like network not available, invalid license, resource 
blocked by another person etc. ? Should these be ignored or reported just like 
the internal unexpected errors?

 

I believe we need to report all errors irrespective of its nature. @ Jasintha : 
could you provide you opinion on this?






And when it comes to the development of the proposed plugin, what would be the 
most suitable target platform that would be compatible with Developer Studio? 
Is it eclipse version 3.5 or higher?




Currently you can test with the latest released developer studio 3.8.0 on top 
of Eclipse Luna. We are planning to release Developer studio on Mars in the 
near future. We will inform you once the release is ready so that you can do 
development on that.

Hi Jasintha,




I am currently working on making a high level architecture diagram for the 
proposed tool. I will send it to you asap along with the draft proposal, so you 
can give your suggestions about it, whether I am in the right track and if any 
improvements need to be done for that.




Meanwhile I encountered with certain issues, that I need a little clarification 
about.






I installed Developer Studio to get a basic idea about its plugins and overall 
structure. I guess I need not have a detailed understanding about its 
functionality for this project, as the project mainly focuses on errors. 




However I noticed the logging class  wso2 plugin has provided. Does it use any 
IStatus Objects or log any additional plugin specific information/error codes

Hi Jasintha,




Can I get an idea about the possible errors that might occur in the developer 
studio?? And should the error reporting plugin detect WSO2 plugin errors as 
well as Eclipse errors?




Basically  you should capture all type of errors happen while working with a 
Developer studio plugin ,




Thanks and Regards
