| <td class="content"> |
| In order to help troubleshooting problems with resource change listeners, |
| a new debug option was added to print information about which event triggers which |
| listener. This option gives a better picture of the flow of all workspace |
| change events and how other plugins react to those changes. To enable the new |
| option, add |
| <pre> |
| org.eclipse.core.resources/debug=true |
| org.eclipse.core.resources/notifications=true</pre> |
| in your <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/luna/topic/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/guide/tools/launchers/tracing.htm">.options file</a> |
