A Plugin that will tail multiple files in a toolwindow. I wrote this to allow me to tail 4+ log files within IDEA.
This work is based on JLogTailer? by Paul Mutton http://www.jibble.org
v0.05
- Changed Add Log option to a single option, evaluated or not
- Display an evaluated version of the filename in the Add Dialog
- Fixed various NPEs
- Fixed issues with resetting log display (after configuration)
- Fixed issues with removing tails
v0.04
- Added support for expressioned filenames (see How To Use)
- Added tooltips to the tail tab to show qualified path
- Rewrote configuration
v0.03
- Added configurable history buffer size
v0.02
- Added Action Toolbar to toolwindow to Add and Remove tailed files
- Cleaned up a few sync problems
- Added a messages to the toolwindow when no files are being tailed
v0.01
- Enable the Highlighting Rules in Configuration
- Enable the Filtering Rules in configuration
- Investigate linking Stack Traces to an editor window (maybe)
- Ability to turn off wrapping and have a horizontal scrollbar - ToddBreiholz
- Clear all button to clear all open log views - ToddBreiholz
- Copy the logtailer.jar to IDEAs plugins directory.
To configure the files you want to tail, go to Project Properties
and select the LogTailer? panel. Here you can change the display
font and add the files you wish to tail
I have not uploaded source yet, will do shortly
A toolwindow will appear on the bottom the IDEA main frame
To tail files using an expression, click the Add a Expression File button on the tail logs toolbar. When entering or selecting the file you wish to tail, replace the dynamic portion with a value (MUST comply to SimpleDateFormat?) wrapped inside %'s.
For example, to tail a log that is today's date plus an extension enter "%yyyyMMdd%.log" (minus the quotes) in the "File Expression" field of the dialog that pops up
