Turning On Debug On IDEA
Hi,
Whilst developing a plugin, I believe it would be useful if I could turn on debug on IDEA. I'm already directing messages to stdout and stderr on the idea.lax file. If I use the logger.debug() supplied in one of the intellij packages, how do I then set the log4j.xml to turn it on?

Hi,
Yeah, I do this already, but I find it a bit overkill just to get some trace dumped out to a file. There are times when I don't need to connect to an instance of Idea running, but would rather just examine the contents of file that Idea generates.
Thanks for your reply, althought :)

in java if you have
log = Logger.getInstance("myplugin.MyLog");
log .debug("something");
Add this to your IDEA_DIR/bin/log.xml
or turn on all your logs under the package myplugin use ]]> instead.
I hope this time I answered your question ;)
