Is there a logging plugin for Eclipse with functionality like Apache Chainsaw?

Question

I'm searching for a eclipse plugin that allows me to view log files like Apache Chainsaw does. In addition I'm hoping that such a plugin would allow me to click on a given logging message and automatically jump to the line of source code where the logging message was generated.

Is such a plugin available for Eclipse?

If there's not, then you've just given me a great idea for my next project :) — Sandman, May 11 '11 at 12:26

Not exactly like Apache Chainsaw but still have a look at these:

If you want use standard eclipse log viewer in your application then have a look at this link: http://www.vogella.de/blog/2009/08/17/eclipse-rcp-error-view/

Have a look at the open-source http://sourceforge.net/projects/ganymede/. It is supposed to support log level coloring, filtering and some other Chainsaw-like features. It's an Eclipse plugin and ships with a .jar file.

I found another one:

Logback Console Plugin for Eclipse

But I guess it doesn't work with Log4j as Apache Chainsaw does.
