Chainsaw can't tail an XML-formatted log file - it can only tail files using the LogFilePatternReceiver as Bing mentioned.
If you'd like to add this support, we'd gladly accept the patch! I'll look into why the GUI configuration of LogFilePatternReceiver isn't taking the tail property. You can ignore the compile errors when building Chainsaw, as well as the ClassNotFoundException trying to load JMS classes in the web start version.

I can open the file, I can set "scroll to bottom" but chainsaw refuses to add new entries. I've tried the log file receiver which has a tail property but I don't seem to be able to change it to "true", it keeps reverting to "false". Quite a number of errors are displayed when I "ant chainsaw". I hope this is normal and the Webstart version behaves the same as described above. Any advice on how to get this running?
