Vicente and Maarten, Thank you both for reporting and analyzing this problem. I've created a new report in bugzilla [1]. It'll be fixed in the next version of logback. [1] http://bugzilla.qos.ch/show_bug.cgi?id=100 Vicente Ferrer wrote:
All right, this is exactly what I think is happening. In fact of that, if you put a call to the toString() method explicitly in the log line, the eclipse plugin works right:
private Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger (TestingLogback.class.getSimpleName());
Car car = new Car("Mercedes") Integer aNumber = new Integer(2); log.debug("A correct log line: {}", aNumber); log.debug("A failed log line: {}", car.toString()); <--------- toString() method called log.debug("This line is unreachable for the logback plugin");
