Where are my wireless error logs?

Question

I have written an Eclpse plugin that contains several editor types. For each editor a content type is associated. In some situations I have two possible editors for the same contenttype. I know that I can select the editor via "Open with". But I would like to decide automatically which editor should be opened.

Here is an example In one plugins I have got the following extension point definitions:

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
      <editor
            class="de.dstg.adsplus.editors.program.MacroEditor"
         contributorClass="de.dstg.adsplus.editors.core.ADSTextEditorActionContributor"
            default="true"
            icon="icons/macro.png"
            id="de.dstg.adsplus.editors.editors.macroEditor"
            name="ADS Macro Editor">
         <contentTypeBinding
               contentTypeId="de.dstg.adsplus.macro">
         </contentTypeBinding>
      </editor>
  </extension

In another plugin I have this definiton:

  <extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.editors">
      <editor
            class="de.dstg.adsplus.focusededitor.FocusedEditor"
            contributorClass="de.dstg.adsplus.focusededitor.FocusedEditorContributor"
            icon="icons/dveditor.png"
            id="de.dstg.adsplus.focusededitor"
            name="ADS Focused Editor">
         <contentTypeBinding
               contentTypeId="de.dstg.adsplus.macro">
         </contentTypeBinding>

When I double click on a file with this content type I would like to decide programmatically which editor to open depending on the content of the file or the location where it is stored. I have tried to find a method that I could implement but without success.

Solution

1. iwconfig gives more information about wifi networks than ifconfig
2. sudo lshw -C network will give you even more information
3. for logs, you could try looking in the /var/log/dmesg files, although that's a lot to wade through so you would want to check as soon as possible after you fail a connection. I'm not sure there are dedicated interface logs - hopefully somebody else will have a better solution for you.

Those "errors" are packet transmission errors for individual packet. They are not system errors which are logged anywhere.

Is this still open or did you find a solution?

Thanks Greg, maybe I will try this. I wanted to avoid to add a new content type because I am using the content types in several places within my plugins and a new content types means that I would have to change the code there too.
