Hi, I use a feature in IntelliJ at work when running applications from the IDE that allows me to view one or more log files In separate tabs when the program starts up.
I was wondering if Netbeans has this kind of support or is there a plugin already to support this kind of action? If not, I was thinking of taking a shot at writing one since I do like using Netbeans and it would be a fun and useful way to expand the IDE. I’m guessing it would be an extension of the Java project or editor to add a new configuration option in the project settings dialog? I saw something in the New Project wizard tutorial on how to add customizers for Projects so I think that might be where it should go..still learning. I know I can always tail the logs in the terminal, but that’s no fun :) I’d like a new tab to open up and stream the log file(s) just like IDEA does. You can configure it in the configuration settings in IntelliJ on a per project basis: Here is the description how to use it: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2021.2/setting-log-options.html Thanks, - Tim
