Scott, I personally would be very interested in seeing a tool similar to this integrated into a log4j client. Either by extending the functionality of chainsaw/lf5 or something else. It sounds like many of the features potentially overlap.
I don't know how we would want to handle a full code donation/integration. We integrated both chainsaw and lf5 source bases a while back, but frankly, there hasn't been much momentum behind extending them, etc. Both are great, but (IMO) they could be even greater. I have even argued that it might be interesting to combine the strengths/features of each into a single client. I have enough on my plate right now, but I feel that some of the most exciting stuff could from really useful log4j client tools. Have you looked at either chainsaw or lf5 to see how your code might be integrated into those existing tools? -Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: Klein, Scott @ TW [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 11:17 AM > To: Log4j-Dev (E-mail) > Subject: Log4J Log Viewer GUI (a la LogFactor5) > > > The last time I looked at GUIs for viewing log files they were pretty > inadequate, so I needed to write my own. > > Is there a need/want for a log file viewer gui in the log4j > project?
