Java log viewer for gnome

The Java log viewer for gnome allows displaying of logs generated by java.util.logging.XMLFormatters. Searching in messages and filtering regarding logger specific levels is offered.

To get the best impression of gjlv download and install it with

	./configure
	make
	make install

Run gjlv and open a Java log file.

The log files must be UTF-8 encoded. This is a sample configuration to be added to your logging.properties (found in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib) or a config file passed to the JVM using "-Djava.util.logging.config.file=<mylogging.properties>"

        java.util.logging.FileHandler.encoding = UTF-8
        java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.XMLFormatter

If you like to connect to the log viewer directly using a SocketHander add the following lines to your logging.properties

        java.util.logging.SocketHandler.level=ALL
        java.util.logging.SocketHandler.encoding=UTF-8
        java.util.logging.SocketHandler.host=localhost
        java.util.logging.SocketHandler.port=4500
