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.
