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

A:

you can do that with notepad++, why do you need to do it in eclipse ?

I have notepad++. Working hyper links from the log file is the most desired thing I'm trying to get. You can use it to jump quickly to your code.

I have installed NTail, I think it is what you are looking for

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.

@VonC Tell me please, what are the rules NTail uses to handle stack trace hyperlinks? Eclipse hangs up when I try to follow a specific hyperlink. But others do work ok, I can follow other links and the source java file opens.

That is strange, because those hyperlinks are created based on a certain regex (xxx.java: line), so if the file exist in the current project, it should work.

Aptana (www.aptana.com) has a really nice tail view feature for Eclipse. Highly recommend it!
