Hey,

I’m looking forward to using this plugin. For some reason I can’t seem how to get the file ( logfile.log4j ) file to show in beanmill. I’m opening up the logfile by the “Import Events” button -> selecting the log fil and opening it. Nothing shows.

Am i missing something? a specific PatternLayout?

Thanks for you time and effort with this plugin.

Looks nice! Is the source available for this?

Hi,

is Beanmill able to log LogRecords sent by java.util.logging.SocketHandler?

Because i get several Exceptions like this one
java.io.StreamCorruptedException: invalid stream header: 3C3F786D
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readStreamHeader(ObjectInputStream.java:783)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.(ObjectInputStream.java:280)
at com.traxel.lumbermill.event.EventListenerServer$SocketListener.(EventListenerServer.java:60)
at com.traxel.lumbermill.event.EventListenerServer.listen(EventListenerServer.java:235)
at com.traxel.lumbermill.event.EventListenerServer.run(EventListenerServer.java:167)

i tested it with LogFeeder (http://www.puzzlecode.com/puzzlecode/logfeeder) and that works. It would be great if i could grab the LogRecords direct in the ide.

works fine

cool

Is this working in NB 6.1 beta yet? I can’t seem to use it.

Sorry… got it working. I had only installed the log4j module and not the viewer itself.

Thank you for bringing lumbermill in very usable form to netbeans. Work like a charm.
For us it was impuls to reconsider all logging implementations we used.
After few hours of testing and consulting we finally ended using SLF4J (http://www.slf4j.org/). SLF4J brings logging to whole new level by wraping somtimes problematic log4j and even more problematic commons-logging.

As we need to use standard java logging in tomcat 6, SLF4J merged all log messages to one (user choice) adapter. Our choice was slf4j-jdk14 and by using own implementation of SocketHandler we managed to deliver all log messages to beanmill.

Many thanks again for best java log viewing solution!

Can you please make it work with NB 6.7 ?

Awesome! I came across this after already trying the basic Lumbermill plugin, but this is way better. Double-clicking the table doesn’t seem to do anything, but I can live with that. Thanks for providing it!

Hi,

I wrote Lumbermill. Very happy to see that you’ve picked it up! Keep up the great work — what you’ve done is exactly why Open Source rules.

What am I missing? I run my current code and I get log4j messages in the standard netbeans output console, but nothing (logging is ’started’ – green play button) shows up in the beanmill window? I downloaded via the update center and am using netbeans 6.8. Do I have to add some sort of appender or otherwise modify my log4j config? Does anyone have an example? Thanks!

Hi Jason,

you need a socket appender, since the lumbermill plugin catches log-messages that come via network sockets.

just add this to your log4j.config

log4j.rootLogger=sockets
log4j.appender.sockets=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender
log4j.appender.sockets.remoteHost=localhost
log4j.appender.sockets.port=4445
log4j.appender.sockets.locationInfo=true

best regards

Thorsten

Awesome Thorsten! That totally worked. Since I was using xml, this was appender:

<appender name=”SOCKET” class=”org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender”>
<param name=”Port” value=”4445″/>
<param name=”RemoteHost” value=”localhost”/>
<param name=”LocationInfo” value=”true”/>
</appender>

don’t forget to restart IDE after installing and before using Beanmill. Works fine with NB6.9

Do you still maintain the standalone version of (Beanmill Testframe)? There are times when I bring up a standalone version instead of bringing up Netbeans (I use an older version of the Beanmill Testframe when testing outside of Netbeans). I really like the new version of the plugin. Thanks for all of you hard work in keeping this valuable plugin current!
