[Mc4j-development] remote logging interface

[James R. <jam...@gm...>]

I am working on porting the ui of some java processes to JMX, and
would like to view logging information in real-time (well, slightly
delayed real-time).  I couldn't find a way to watch log statement
occur from JConsole or from MC4j, so I was wondering whether this was
already in the works or whether I should add the feature.

My proposal:
-a JMXAppender, compatible with Log4j which sent notifications to a
listener in the MC4J console
-a console-side listener which posts messages to a JTextPane; there
would be options for maxMessageHistorySize, etc.
-a more user-friendly version of the setLoggingLevel property of the
log in view, perhaps?
