Claus Ibsen commented on FORGE-2604:
------------------------------------

Took me a while to track down that this results.fail in my addon is not logged anywhere, and my command complete with success it says
https://github.com/fabric8io/fabric8-forge/blob/master/addons/camel/src/main/java/io/fabric8/forge/camel/commands/project/ConfigureEndpointPropertiesStep.java#L271

In the IDEA event log all I see is
9:17:17 AM Command executed successfully

With my poor man logger I could see the facet.getResource returned null, and the reason is that the name of the resource was the absolute name and not relative.

> Developing forge addons is really painful when developing and testing for GUIs such as IDEA or Eclipse.
> There is no logging or visibility what happens. And logging on IDEA or Eclipse is different, and you as a forge addon developed dont really know where the log files of IDEA/Eclipse are stored and how to log to them. 
> Forge should have an easy API that you can use to
> - log in IDEA/Eclipse log
> - log to custom log file which you can easily configure
> - log to IDEA/Eclipse event log / console.
