title: Java Log Viewer
body: <p>Unfortunately, sometimes the only way to debug a program is by going through its long log files. </p>
  
  <p>I searched for a decent log viewer for a while now, and haven't found a real solution. The only program that seemed to be most appropriate was <a href="http://logging.apache.org/chainsaw/2.x/download.html" rel="noreferrer">Chainsaw</a> with its Socket connector but after a few short uses the program proved to be buggy and unresponsive at best. </p>
  
  <p>For my purposes, a log viewer should at least be able to mark log levels (for example with different colors) and perform easy filtering based on packages and free-text. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any other (free) log viewer? I'm looking for anything that could work well with log4j.  </p>
