let's treat it as a bug for now and hope it can be fixed for nb 6... I've seen feedback at conferences that it was not something people liked...
*** Issue 111022 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
Note some additional suggestions in issue 111022 - to wit, provide an action that shows the full log in the output window toolbar. Regardless of log rotation, just starting at the end point of the log file and only showing that, and providing an action to show the full log if desired should be +/- 10 lines of code - this ought to be trivial to fix.
thanks for the addition info and clarification.
The code has logic to do what Tim and Alexis were asking for... I think. But it also had a bug that prevented it from working correctly. I have fixed the bug in that code. Please give this a try and see if it resolves the issue. Reopen and explain the other changes you would like to see, if the log viewer is still awful. http://deadlock.netbeans.org/fisheye/changelog/netbeans/serverplugins/sun?cs=MAIN:vkraemer:20071024004320
thanks Vince for spending cycles on this. I just gave 20071029200 a spin and I like the way the user is presented with the end of the log file. I'm not clear on how the rotation logic has changed. Or has it?
that is answered by the diffs, which are accessible via the link in my previous entry
