Hello, /Problem/ In logback view (in Eclipse), using the default Pattern Layout "%relative %level [%thread] %logger{25} %message %nopex", I get as first part of the log strings the total time in milliseconds since first started my application for a given eclipse run, instead of the time in milliseconds since started my application. E.g., I see a time of 40000 as first log entry when running the application, not because the application is running since 40 seconds at logging time, but because the first time I ran my application for the eclipse session I am in has been started 40 seconds ago. /Test case/ With the following logback.xml: ----- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender"> <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout"> <param name="Pattern" value="%relative %level [%thread] %logger{25} %message %nopex\n" /> </layout> </appender> <root> <level value="debug" /> <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> </root> <consolePlugin /> </configuration> ----- and the following Log.java class: ----- package main; import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory; public class Log { private static final Logger s_logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Log.class); public static void main(String[] args) { s_logger.info("Started."); } } ----- I get the following output: - in the "normal" Eclipse Console (that is, stdout), I invariably see (each time I start the application), the unique log entry "0 INFO [main] main.Log Started. " (This is the expected behaviour, AFAIU.) - in the logback view, after having started the application four times with several seconds interval each time, I see (BTW, how do you copy the contents in the clipboard?): ----- -47 INFO [main] main.Log Started. 13328 INFO [main] main.Log Started. 18703 INFO [main] main.Log Started. 49406 INFO [main] main.Log Started. ----- /Question/ Shouldn't the count start at zero each time I start the app? How can I get that behaviour in Logback view? /Tries and setup details/ Clicking "Clear Console" in Logback view does not change the behaviour. The LogBack console indeed clears, but the next time I start the application I see again a time number which is far greater than zero. This number will continue to grow until I restart Eclipse. Eclipse 3.4, and LogBack Console Plug-in version 1.1.0. I have observed this behaviour in Eclipse 3.3.2 as well, and on two different computers. Naturally the problem is the same with a simple configuration file as given in http://logback.qos.ch/consolePlugin.html ; STDOUT appender has been added in the test case above to show the difference in behaviour between the console and the logback view. Thank you for any help. Olivier
