[ jEdit-devel ] pluggin suggestion

[Pierre <pg...@in...>]

Hi everyone, thanks for your work.

I recently take a look at the log4j APi
(http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/index.html)
which seems to be a finely crafted log API.
One of the possibility it offers it to use several "appenders"
that is to say several output.
And i was thinking that it wood be cool to be able
to use the error list plugin as one of these appender
so that we can browse the log file and the source code silmutaneously
(that is to say to click on a line of the log will place the carret on the coresponding
source file and line).
This will provide Jedit with some sort of "asynchronous debugger".

I don't know if the error-list plugin could handle a lot of lines
but i think that either writing a new appender or 
using the existing remote socket appender such a plugin 
could be quite easy to write (at least far  easier than a
a debugger plug-in).

IMHO this could provide an unique and unvaluable functionnality to jedit.

Pierre.
