Konrad Windszus commented on FELIX-5108:
----------------------------------------

+1 for making "false" the default. Just logging to the bnd reporter is enough in 99% of the cases.

>            Assignee: Pierre De Rop

> Currently the scr bnd plugins passes log information not only back to bnd via bnd's reporter, but also writes a log file to  
> {noformat}
> /tmp/scrplugin/<BundleSymbolicName>.log
> {noformat}
> this can create problems on systems where writing to such a path is not permitted (e.g. on CI servers running concurrently multiple jobs), and it is not always useful either.
> A new option {{logToFile}} should be added, default value is true = current behavior. if set to false the log file is not written to the temp directory.
> One could discuss if perphaps a default value of false would suite better, because it is quite uncommon to write a log file to a fixed path by default.
