statusMessage

Logs a message to the user and to the runtime log

The text message is supplied as the content of the statusMessage tag and can be scripted with other DPTK tags.

The severity of the message is specified with the severity attribute. If there are no error level messages, the user is not shown any messages. If there are severity "error" messages, the the user is presented with a completion dialog box that can list the messages and the messages are written to the PDE runtime log.

The PDE runtime log can be viewed by (1) Using Window -> Preferences -> Workbench -> Capabilities to turn on "Eclipse Developer" capabilities. The Error Log view can then be added by using "Window -> Add View..." -> PDE Runtime -> Error Log.
