title: How do you get the Scala IDE presentation compiler to show you the log output of a compiler plugin?
body: <p>When I call the Scala compiler from the command line, using my own compiler plugin, I use the following two parameters to see what happens:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-Ylog:generatewrappers -Xprint:generatewrappers
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This gives me all the information I need. Using the same plugin inside the Scala IDE for Eclipse, those options are not yet available in the compiler properties. If I just put them exactly as above in the "Additional command line parameters" field, it does not seem to have any effect, although I can see that the plugin is doing it's job.</p>
  
  <p>So how can I get Eclipse to show me the output of the plugin/compiler, either in the Eclipse Console View or in the Problem View (or is there a special other View for this)?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: If anybody cares, I'm getting the very useful error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error in Scala compiler: null
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which is extremely frustrating. I tried using the -Ypresentation-log option, hoping to at least get the output in that file, but all it contains is something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"wait for more work"(
    ),
  "atnode"(
    1,
    1319373203925),
  "asked"(
    ),
  "atnode"(
    2,
    1319373203926),
  ...
  "exception thrown"(
    "scala.tools.nsc.interactive.ShutdownReq$"(
      ))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This error does not come when I compile from the command line using the same options, so I have no way of debugging it without the actual presentation compiler output.</p>
