Description

For any informational message, the user can explicitly turn on the tracing or logging using the eclipse .options file.
Almost every plugin has the .option file which has console, trace and debug switches:
1 console: to output info to the default console;
2 trace: to output the methods' entry, exit or some info messages to the .log file;
3 debug: to output the warning & error messages to the .log file.
