Where did XMPPConnection.DEBUG_ENABLED go?

I’ve been working with the Smack 4.0.0-rc2 release candidate, and am trying to get the basic debug console working. The documentation explaining how to enable the debug console suggests setting the following:

 XMPPConnection.DEBUG_ENABLED = true;

but actually it seems that this DEBUG_ENABLED static field no longer exists on XMPPConnection in 4.0. I tried the other documented means for enabling the debug console, like setting the command-line parameter:

-Dsmack.debugEnabled=true

but this also didn’t seem to work.

Can anyone provide advice on how to enable the debug console in Smack 4.0?

Thanks!

So, as it often happens, the truth reveals itself just after I’ve reached out for help. It turns out that the command-line parameter does work just fine, but if you’re using an IDE like I am, make sure you set it as a “VM option” and not a “program argument”. Silly mistake .
