I am launching my JBoss server in eclipse, and so standard out/err displays in the Console view. But there are other logs being generated by log4j, and so I need to be able to monitor some of those as well. Is there anyway to "tail" an arbitrary file - with the nice source code hyperlinks that the Console view provides, of course.
(I am using myeclipse 7.5, which is eclipse 3.4.2)
From the main menu, select Window > Show view > Other. Then select General > Error Log. The error log is displayed, showing the following information for each error: The status of the error (for example, error or warning)
Workspace log - This is the most common location for the log file, It is stored in your workspace in the meta-data directory. Check out workspace/. metadata/. log .
Log files of systems and applications contain invaluable information such as operation status & results, errors, and much more. Monitoring the log files helps IT administrators to know the performance of the systems and mission critical applications such as Oracle, SAP, ERP, IIS, etc. in real-time.
I currently am using NTail (Eclipse market place):
You can define several "NTail views", each one monitoring one or several files.

I just searched the Eclipse Marketplace for
log file viewer
and it suggested LogViewer, which does exactly what you need very well (+more).
