It looks like the development on Chainsaw has stopped 4 years ago (last development build dated 2006-03-02)...
Anyone knows of a replacement tool providing the same functionality, but with more up to date releases ?

Log4j is dead in the water anyway. You might be better served by moving to SLF4j and Logback. Then, you can use Lilith to view your logs.

Using logback pages to argue that log4j is dead in the water, is like using Microsoft pages to argue that Linux is dead in the water. I trust you know the history of logback?

True, that page should have been my argument to move away from log4j. The main log4j page (http://logging.apache.org/log4j/) could be an argument for log4j being dead in the water. "Dead in the water" is probably also a poor choice of words. "Mature" is probably more correct, as used on the log4j site.

log4j 1.x is a 'mature' technology, but work is proceeding on log4j 2.0 at a rapid pace at the moment.See: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2

Thorbjørn, the analogy would be relevant if Bill Gates had written Linux, which of course he did not.

Our product SmartInspect comes with a graphical log analysis and viewer tool. You can also integrate SmartInspect with log4j:
