# PLDT Tracing

- Tracing is enabled in PLDT. To use this:

  Create a file ".options" in the same directory as your eclipse executable. Put this in the file:

         org.eclipse.ptp.pldt.common/debug = true
         org.eclipse.ptp.pldt.common/debug/pldtTrace = true

  Then launch eclipse in debug mode using the -debug option, and mirror the Console view output to the command line console using the -consoleLog option. (Maybe Linux already spits out the console, not sure.)

         eclipse -debug -consoleLog

  When you run with this tracing enabled, it will print out a bunch of trace information to the console. At least MPI artifact analysis has been enabled for user-directed tracing.
