Indeed.

It wasn't my intention to evolve the existing Console plugin. It's my intention to create a new plugin that can receive GoTo commands from external applications (not only from vigilog but froma ll kind of applications) The benefits I see are 1) both IntelliJ users and eclipse users could benefit from the effort put into vigilog 2) developing the plugin will probably be rather easy (no gui integration needed) important for me since I have zero experience writing plugins for eclipse, and almost no experience writing plugins for idea. Since Karl was asking whether someone was working on it, I decided to communicate my intentions.. By no means did I want to discourage him (or anyone else) to improve the Logback Console. Also note that it might take years before I find the time to actually implement my ideas ;-) regards Maarten > Best Regards, > > Sébastien > > Le 23 nov. 07 à 08:57, Maarten Bosteels a écrit : > > > > On Nov 23, 2007 7:46 AM, Karl Pietrzak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Thanks for the feedback, Maarten! > >> > >> Correct me if I'm wrong, but vigilog is written in Swing (as > >> opposed to > >> SWT).
