Question

I am experimenting with a combination of Vagrant+VirtualBox+JRebel+Eclipse+Tomcat to develop a Java Servlet application. My Tomcat instance runs in a VirtualBox VM, which for Eclipse purposes means it is a remote server. I was able to get hot deploying (JRebel) and debug mode working.

I haven't yet found a good way to get the logs to show up in Eclipse, though. Ideally, I'd like something very similar to the Console view that Eclipse/WTP gives for local Tomcat instances. Some features I like:

Lines in stack traces are clickable, taking me right to the source file
Easily searchable
Highlighting (errors show up in red)
Shows up right in my IDE
Can be cleared when I'm sick of seeing too much

The first two features (clickable and searchable) are the most important to me. Does anyone know of a plugin or separate app that can accomplish this?

LogViewer appears to be abandoned (and possibly non-functional in current Eclipse versions), and JLV doesn't appear to have clickable source lines.

Explanation / Answer

NTail might do the job. It hasn't been updated since 2010, but it seems to work on Eclipse Luna
