Error Log View

The Error Log view is not included by default in any perspective, but you can open it with Window → Show View → Error Log. Use it to view internal Eclipse errors and stack dumps when reporting problems to the developers. It can also display warnings and informational messages logged by Eclipse plug-ins. Table 15 shows the commands on the Error Log view's toolbar.
