(Eclipse) Can you run code coverage for 'part' of the session?

[leosp...@gmail.com]

Is it possible to 'activate' code coverage, do a task and then 'finish/dump' to see only the code that was run during a timespan?

The reason is that in our code base (SWT Eclipse), there is a lot of code that is ran at start up, so it's sometimes hard to tell which code was ran by a specific event (e.g mouse click).

"Coverage View" has button "Dump Execution Data" to request coverage of a running application and dropdown list next to this button has option "Reset on Dump" ( http://www.eclemma.org/userdoc/coverageview.html ) :

1. start application
2. request dump with reset
3. "do a task"
4. request dump again and coverage view will show what was executed after reset i.e. by "task"
