Release of logback-beagle 1.0.0

Hello all, I am happy to announce the first release of logback-beagle, an eclipse plug-in for viewing logs. For more information on logback-beagle please see: http://logback.qos.ch/beagle/ The logback-beagle plug-in can be installed in Eclipse by adding the URL http://logback.qos.ch/p2/ as a new Eclipse software site under the "Intall New Software" page. You can receive logback related announcements by subscribing to the QOS.ch announce mailing list.

Ceki & Sébastien This is really cool. Great start. Of course the enhancements needed are the ability of the developer to customize logger levels so that they only see messages from the classes they are interested in. So if the console was normally set at ERROR, and I could set com.myorg.mystuff = DEBUG or TRACE in beagle, then I would be able to see the details I'm interested in from a developer perspective without having to modify the logback.xml (and accidentally check it into the source repository). The other item I noticed was that if you add the <consolePlugin> to the xml file and the plugin has not been installed (by the IDE user), you see a stack trace. It is at INFO level, but is an area of concern if I want to add this to all of my logback.xml configurations for use by the team. So in your opinion, would it be wise to add to a regular logback.xml files or do you see each developer adding this themselves? Larry Smith

Hello Ceki, 2012/7/13 ceki <ceki@qos.ch>:

I played with your new tool and find it very handy. But there is one thing I could not figure out: How can I clear the contents of the Beagle view? New test runs add new entries into the view. After a view runs, it is difficult to find the first entry of the last run. Is there a clear action or something similar? Regards, Lars

Clearing is already implemented in logback-beagle 1.1 to be released in the coming weeks. Cheers, -- Ceki http://tinyurl.com/proLogback

Hello all,
I am happy to announce the first release of logback-beagle, an eclipse plug-in for viewing logs. Great idea, and I'd like to suggest two enhancements:
1) The ability to choose the view's font. Ideally, the default should be "Console Font" (ie, the same font as the Console view). The current default is too small for my taste and I couldn't find how to increase it. 2) The ability to set regexp-based color highlighting, similar to logviewer plugin[1] Regards, Daniel Serodio [1] http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/logviewer/

Hi Daniel, Thank you for your message. Could you please create separate jira issues asking for these features? Best regards, -- Ceki http://twitter.com/#!/ceki On 02.08.2012 19:04, Daniel Serodio (lists) wrote:
