Tailing Files in Eclipse
Unix offers a 'tail ' command to display the last few lines of a file. The '-f' parameter adds to the utility, particularly in monitoring the log files. The functionality is accomplished in Windows by Tail for Win23, a MCF based tool.

With Eclipse becoming the default development environment for a lot of programming languages, monitoring log files within Eclipse would be a nice add-on, says Venu. And he adds that the LogWatcher plug-in does just that. The plug-in adds a view through which one can monitor a log/file for changes.

Using the LogWatcher plug-in you can:
  • Watch any file inside Eclipse
  • Customize number of lines to show from each file and refresh interval
  • Tabbed view for easy access to multiple files
  • Filters allow actions to be taken when logging output matches certain patterns

To install the plug-in:
  • Unzip contents of the zip file to the Eclipse "plugins" directory and restart Eclipse
  • From the Window/Show View menu, choose Other -> Log Files -> LogWatcher to open the view
  • For detailed usage instructions, see the LogWatcher manual, or choose the Graysky help topic that is installed with LogWatcher
