Hi!
We use log4j and Chainsaw in our ptoject and really appreciate them! Thank you for these great and much needed tools!
For reasons specific to ou project, I'd like to extend Chainsaw to be able to display, for each 'thread name', the last message received. (this could be seen as an 'multi-line status bar'!)
Although the reasons are really project specific, the implementation would be completely generic and might be integrated in the Chainsaw project.
However, I'm completely new to the open-source world (although I really appreciate what it provides ;-) ) and I'm not too sure about what to do, how to do it, what changes are allowed, is there an approval required, who decide what is to be done etc etc etc...
And in this case, before hacking my few lines of code here and there in the middle of the original Chainsaw code (as I've done so far locally!), I guess I'll need to restructure it a little bit, splitting the Main.java and MyTableModel.java in 2 or 3 functionalities: (receiving, filtering, dispatching, displaying...)
(as an example, I included the two impacted files here below, just in case my description was not clear enough! obviously, this is not production quality code!!!)
Hope I didn't take too much of your time and I'm looking forward to contributing to this simple but great projects!
Regards,
Olivier
