Bug 210946 [Workbench] Unproper error handling in class ModalContext
Build ID: M20070921-1145 Steps To Reproduce: A caught Throwable is not written to the Eclipse log. It is just written on the console. org.eclipse.jface.operation.ModalContext public void block() { if (display == Display.getCurrent()) { while (continueEventDispatching) { // Run the event loop. Handle any uncaught exceptions caused // by UI events. try { if (!display.readAndDispatch()) { display.sleep(); } } // ThreadDeath is a normal error when the thread is dying. We must // propagate it in order for it to properly terminate. catch (ThreadDeath e) { throw (e); } // For all other exceptions, log the problem. catch (Throwable e) { System.err.println("Unhandled event loop exception during blocked modal context."); //$NON-NLS-1$ e.printStackTrace(); } More information:

} finally {
			modalLevel--;
