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.
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.
