JULoV is a simple view for eclipse that listens in a port for
connections. The java logging api must be configured with the socket
handler and the XML formatter in order to be understood by this plugin.
When the java program executs the log statements, the logging framework
will open a TCP connection and post the xml formatted log messsages,
the view (which acts as a server) receives this xml and displays it on
a table.
Notice that this is all done keeping in mind minimum implementation
cost (actually the logging configuration file needs minimal changes to
implement this).
Add the handler in the configuration file like this:
handlers= java.util.logging.FileHandler,
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler,
java.util.logging.SocketHandler
Add the following lines to the logging.properties file for configuring
the handler
# SocketHandler properties
java.util.logging.SocketHandler.port = 9999
java.util.logging.SocketHandler.host = localhost
