Log4E is an Eclipse Plugin which helps you to use your logger easily in Java Projects. This plug-in is not bound to any special logging framework. Thus you might be able to adapt to your own logger by defining your own templates using the preferences. It supports Log4j, Commons Logging and JDK 1.4 logging.

Use the context menu of a java file or the context menu of an editor and get to the submenu "Log4". That submenu provides additional tasks. Every of the following tasks can be invoked either on class or on method level.

• Logger Declaration - Inserting import statement and logger declaration of your favourite logger in your sourcecode automatically.
• Logger Insertions - Automate insertions of logger statements at certain method entries: begin of method, exit of method (before every return statement and at the end of method) and in catch blocks.
• Replacement of System out's - Replacement of System out's, System.err's and e.printTrackTrace Statements.
• Logger Modification - Modification of already exisiting logger statements: Replacing logger message with standard information, surrounding log statements with isLevelEnabled() if clauses and more.
