Provide detailed environment information in console at plugin activation time

satyagraha commented 10 years ago

E.g. Build info, JVM, platform, browser type, etc. Will be useful for bug reports.

The console is disable by default.

And except for GFMV version info, getting all other (JVM, platform, browser type) would be great Eclipse plugin in itself. It should be in Help -> About

Some info can be found deeper in Help -> About -> Installation Details -> Configuration, like

*** System properties:
applicationXMI=org.eclipse.ui.workbench/LegacyIDE.e4xmi
awt.toolkit=sun.awt.windows.WToolkit
eclipse.application=org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench
eclipse.buildId=4.3.0.M20130911-1000
eclipse.commands=-os
win32
-ws
win32
-arch
x86_64

And README should ask to take a peice

from '.log' file from the directory '.metadata' in your workspace. (see as it is at http://www.nodeclipse.org/#support)

That '.log' has stack traces even if PDE with Error Log is not present.

Eclipse 4.4.0.M3 has nothing new about this.
