Eclipse plugin for Java that automatically adds logging events

Question

I want to add a plugin to my Eclipse(Helios) which logs my function start and end. To be more precise, I'm looking for something like this.

TestClass {

    private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLog("TestClass");

    public void displayHello () {
        System.out.println("Fooo");
    }
}

After I add the plugin and enable functional logging,Im expecting the following

TestClass {
  private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLog("TestClass");
   public void displayHello () {
     logger.debug ("displayHello() - Started");
     System.out.println("Fooo");
     logger.debug ("displayHello() - Ended");
   }
 }

I remember using some method to obtain the same earlier but am unable to recollect the same now.Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks Anish

Answer 1

You should look at AspectJ and Spring AOP its supports something like this,

execution(* com.java.test..*.*(..))

which will cover all methods in all sub-packages of project. So no need to define all methods one by one.
