For those who may be interested, Chainsaw has been updated to include support for multi-line log file formats, including the default java.util.logging file format.
If you want to try it out, the developer snapshot of Chainsaw, in Mac dmg or zip file format, is available at http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy If you want to try out Chainsaw's ability to parse and tail a java.util.logging-formatted file, follow these steps: - start Chainsaw - Select the 'File, Load Chainsaw configuration' menu - Select 'process a log file' - Select the log file you want to parse by pressing the 'Open File' button and browsing to the file - Log file format: TIMESTAMP LOGGER THREAD(LF)LEVEL: MESSAGE - Log file timestamp format: MMM dd, yyyy HH:mm:ss a You may want to check the box at the bottom to tell Chainsaw to always run with this configuration, or save it off for later use. Feedback always welcome! Scott Deboy
