Subject: Log4X UI

Hey Mike,

I've developed 'version 2' of Chainsaw - a UI connected to the log4j
project and originally developed to only work with log4j (java) events -
I've added a lot of functionality and attempted to make it completely
language-agnostic.

* Support for reception of messages via XML over TCP/UDP/multicast
(log4j.dtd and java.util.logging's logger.dtd)
* A tab-based UI - each unique machine/application combination has
events logged to a unique tab.
* Colorizing
* Display filtering (including regular expression support)
* Saved settings/preferences
* Import/export events on a tab from XML format
* Many more features

I've already contacted Nicko of the log4Net project and he's updating
his udp support to generate xml events using the log4j.dtd.

Please feel free to visit the jakarta-log4j-sandbox project and build
the project using the chainsaw xml file and ant.  Example configuration
files and an 'event generator' application are provided to get a feel
for how the app works.

Hopefully it's a useful UI to Perl guys - let me know if you'd like more
information or need help running the app (I'm trying to build support
from as many language fronts as I can).
