I am not sure we're talking about the same thing, but have you heard of JumpToCode ? It's a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA that listens for "jump to this code" commands from external programs. Creating a similar plugin for eclipse is on my TODO list.
The idea is that log-viewers such as Vigilog and Chainsaw show hyperlinks for every LocationInfo. When hyperlink is clicked a "jump to code" command is sent to your IDE, which will navigate to the corresponding code.
This is already implemented in Vigilog. I still have to ask the chainsaw maintainers to see if they are also interested.
This is a very interesting thing, as I have asked the Eclipse folks the same thing a long time ago. Is there a way to communicate things back to Eclipse when running in a debugger and the answer was "no".
It would be really nice to have. My only concern is if a fellow coworker decides to tease me, and start sending bogus requests. Is there a password mechanism or so?
You can specify on which interface and which port the plugin listens. By default it uses 127.0.0.1 so it only listens for requests coming from localhost. I run vigilog and IDEA on two different PC's so I let the plugin listen on 0.0.0.0. No problems with co-workers so far :-) There is no password mechanism, but it could be added of course. But I think problem could also be solved with iptables.
Otherwise an integration with the Eclipse plugin would be a good idea perhaps.
Not sure: The idea about navigating from logging-event to corresponding code was stolen from Log4jMonitor : another IDEA plugin similar to the eclipse logback plugin but more advanced. It uses a JTable instead of plain text and also has filtering options. It worked really well. But it has a dependency on the Intellij API, and the plugin no longer works in recent versions of IDEA. That's why I wanted a plugin that's as simple as possible => small dependency on IntelliJ API => higher chance of staying compatible and being maintained. => more time left to work on a nice logviewer that can be used by both eclipse and IDEA users. Unfortunately the current release of Vigilog is IMO not really usable during development: * it has no support to tail a file * it has no support for receiving log-events over a socket I have added support for the latter, but it's not polished enough to be released. That's another thing on my TODO list. http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=13 http://www.intellij.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/LogMonitorPlugin regards, Maarten
