How to view a log file in Eclipse editor just like it looks in console window?


I have a txt log file. How to make it look in Eclipse editor just as if it was the console output [ eg links underlined ].

It is a bit sad plugins called "Log viewer" do not highlight links as Console Window does. That's the worst thing about such plugins.


Solution

  • As chburd mentions, NTail is a good candidate (as I said in "Can eclipse monitor an arbitrary log file in the Console view?")

    You can also define your own Console Viewer (see this source) to define your own hyperlink.
