Eclipse plugin for Java that automatically adds logging events

I want to add a plugin to my Eclipse(Helios) which logs my function start and end. To be more precise, I'm looking for something like this.

TestClass {

    private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLog("TestClass");

    public void displayHello () {
        System.out.println("Fooo");
    }
}

After I add the plugin and enable functional logging,Im expecting the following 

TestClass {
  private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLog("TestClass");
   public void displayHello () {
     logger.debug ("displayHello() - Started");
     System.out.println("Fooo");
     logger.debug ("displayHello() - Ended");
   }
 }

I remember using some method to obtain the same earlier but am unable to recollect the same now.Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks Anish

Since the question is about Eclipse plugins, I am assuming that the places you want to log do not necessarily exist in a single plugin. AspectJ is a good suggestion. However, standard AspectJ or Spring AOP will not be sufficient since it is classloader based. You will need to use Equinox Weaving.

Equinox Weaving performs load-time weaving in an OSGi-aware way. Essentially, you create your plugins and augment your manifest files with the proper weaving configuration.

You should look at AspectJ and Spring AOP its supports something like this,

execution(* com.java.test..*.*(..))

which will cover all methods in all sub-packages of project. So no need to define all methods one by one.
