Hello Maarten,
If I understand you well, your idea is more to link the Vigilog
application with the Eclipse editor. Is that correct?
What we wanted to do with the Console Plugin is to integrate the
display of the logs inside the IDE, so that it is as convenient as
possible for the developer, and as close as possible to the source code.
That is also why we added the filtering functions: they allow the
developer to filter her log statements after they have been issued. Or
why we made the configuration in the logback.xml file as short as
possible: it all must be very convenient and easy to reach.
Given our initial goal, I'm not too keen on making the plugin evolve
to a window outside of the IDE…
Best Regards,
Sébastien

Thanks for the feedback, Maarten!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but vigilog is written in Swing (as
opposed to
SWT). Do you foresee this being a significant porting issue?
Hi Karl,
No, since it's not my intention to run vigilog *inside* the IDE.
The idea is that vigilog runs as a stand-alone application (as it
already does) but with the plugin I have in mind, you would be able to
jump from vigilog to the corresponding class and line in your IDE
(that would be IntelliJ IDEA in my case).
I am not sure it will work, for example bringing the eclipse (or idea)
window to the front from vigilog.
But since there is already the Log4jMonitor plugin for IntelliJ that
is able to jump to the correct class and line, I assume it's possible.
Currently the Log4jMonitor plugin does not work correctly in idea 7,
but it's working perfectly in idea 6, and I have never experienced
performance issues.
regards
Maarten

Hello Karl,
I am not working on the Logback Console Plugin, but I agree that a
JTable
would be much better than just text.
But instead of enhancing the current plugin, this is what I had in
mind:
* enhance vigilog [1] in several ways (ability to taill a log-
file, to
receive logging events over a socket, ...)
* create a plugin for Eclipse and for IntelliJ IDEA that listens
on a
socket for commands like
"goto:org.some.package.MyCoolClass:172" => plugin will then
open an
editor window for the specified class and line
* vigilog could then create hyperlinks for all logging events that
have a
locationInfo and for stacktraces
This way, we can concentrate on enhancing vigilog and both eclipse
and
idea users benefit.
Note that I am not yet a vigilog contributor, and it could take a
long
time before all this is accomplished.
Just wanted to let you know what I have in mind.
And if you want to add a JTable to the Console Plugin, it might be
interesting to have a look at the vigilog source code.
It uses glazedlists and JxTable.

Hey everyone!
Logback looks awesome! Is anyone (besides me) interested in
having a
Table instead of List in the Logback Console Plugin?
I'm thinking about spending some time on this. Anyone wanna join
me?
(e.g., I'll add Table support and someone else does sorting-by-
column?)
Thanks, and keep up the great work!
