Description Chris Lott 2007-03-07 12:08:47 UTC
I am just getting started with Jmeter and at this point nearly everything I try
fails due to my mistakes.  Unfortunately the failures are essentially silent; I
don't see anything in the GUI.  I would like the option of having the JMeter GUI
provide a log viewer, much like the console viewer in Eclipse, and have that
viewer contain all the lines that JMeter merrily writes to its jmeter.log file.
 This would be an enormous help for beginners like me.  This option could be off
by default if that helps for performance reasons.  I agree with your approach of
never having the GUI put up an error dialog, of course not, but a viewer would
be great.  Thanks for listening.

Implementation

Hello Sebb, Milamber, Rainer,
I implemented this feature.
It works like this:
- A jmeter property called jmeter.loggerPanel.display (defaults to false) enables a new panel
- If set to true, a LogTarget will be installed to get Log Events that will be displayed in the Panel
- A new menu option enables the user to enable/disable the panel
- If enabled Log Events are displayed
- If disabled they are ignored (so no perfs impacts)

I attach screenshot.
There is still a little issue, when I enable the Panel after disabling it, it does not resize itself (if you know the method to call, it will help).
