Log file viewer for Eclipse

I'm looking for a log file viewer plugin for Eclipse possibly having the following features:

  • custom highlighting of lines
  • custom line filters, possibly with regEx
  • tail following

The discontinued Eclipse Logfile Viewer has nice highlighting but no line filters.

There seem to be good standalone programs like TraceTool which misses the highlighting and BareTail Pro.

From stackoverflow
  • NTail could be what you are looking for (download page).

    alt text

    Standalone alternatives are listed in the question "Best tail (log file visualization) freeware tool ?"

    desolat : Tried that but has a view drawbacks: - just one higlighting color - filters can only exclude expressions From the standalone front LogExpert is my favorite up to now.
    VonC : LogExpert: very good choice :)
  • Seems I have to stay with the Eclipse Logfile Viewer.

  • you can use XpoLog center and browse your logs for the Eclipse built in web browser as this server is web based. it support log4j, log4net, log4perl, log4php and other log formats. XpoLog

    desolat : A bit of an overkill for my purposes.
  • Try Eclipse Log Viewer by Andre Bossert.

    desolat : All the features I need, nice!
