F.A.Q.
- Is it free?
- Yes, free and open source. It is published under
the Library GNU Public Liscense terms.
- Why should I use JTraceDump when I have a logger with trace- or
debug-logging?
- Becasue trace- or debug-logging is usually turned
off when an application goes into production (for performance
and other reasons).
JTraceDump provides context information when a problem occurs,
no matter if tracing was enabled or not.
- Does JTraceDump replace my logging facility?
- No, not at all. It is an addition to a regular
logger, as it does NOT write anything into any file, as long as
there is no problem. It provides detailed information about the
possible cause of a problem in a separate file, while the regular
error log of the application might contain just one single record
for that problem.
- JTraceDump is only one single class - can I include it directly
into my project's own JAR-File?
- No problem. You can also alter it as much as you
like - except for the copyright notice. Read the license for further
details.
