Hi Mike,

As you mentioned, the compile errors shouldn't cause a problem in your case.

If your configuration file being used to configure Chainsaw has a logfilepatternreceiver without a tailing parameter, I'm not sure setting the tailing parameter to true in the gui and restarting the receiver will work. (I'm not sure this receiver behaves correctly on 'restart').

I'd modify your configuration file, adding the tailing parameter to the logfilepatternreceiver plugin (tailing=true), and then start Chainsaw and see if tailing works.

I followed the link at http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/chainsaw.html and built log4j/chainsaw (for Windows XP) using Ant. 37 errors and 13 warnings are issued (seemingly caused as I don't have JMS or javax.mail.Message installed). I hope that I can ignore these as I'm not planning on logging into either email and/or JMS.

I have a couple of problems. I can open a log file and view it quite readily but I haven't been able to have it displayed text appended to the log file in real time. I assume that's what is controlled through the tailing property of the LogFilePatternReceiver. When I try to activate it, nothing happens on the screen but it does add text to the console session about "value class boolean not know".

Also, when I try to restart the receiver I put into the configuration file, the status bar shows "LogFilePatternReceiver started" but doesn't open up a tab for it or display text added to the log file.

Does anyone have advise on these issues?

Thanks.
