Java Debug/Output Window
We are in need of a scrolling text window that can handle debug output.
This is how it needs to work:
1. Any object can "send" debug output to the window.
2. The output needs to have a time stamp, calling module file and line number. The color of the output text can also be modified by the calling module.
3. Each debug call can have a id/priority parameter. This id/priority can be filtered on from the debug window.
Does anything like this exist?
Thanks in advance

I mean - not perfect, but working code.

I would be willing to look at it. Ofcourse there would have to be no strings attached. No license fees are anything like that. Fair trade, points for code. Also, this code will have to be close to what I am looking for.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
I found some stuff from some recent project. not perfect as I already said :)
I'll copy&paste several files here

you can create specialized logger objects that write the log messages in file, post them to the webserver (using HTTP POST) or show your own console.

I use only five types of log data, because it's easier for me to type
logg.log("message");
then
logg.log(MODE_INFO, "message");
as for the calling class, method & line number - you do not have preprocessor in Java so there are only two possible solutions:
1. always add them them as parameters when calling logg.log();
2. you can 'cheat' by using dummy Exceptions & stacktrace info (but this is quite unreliable & JavaVM dependent solution)
logg.log("message");

logg.log(MODE_INFO, "message");

WindowsUpdate has new updates for .NET users; Details follow - Microsoft .NET Framework
The .NET Framework is a new feature of Windows. Applications built using the .NET Framework are more reliable and secure. You need to install the .NET Framework only if you have software that requires it.
For more information about the .NET Framework, see http://www.microsoft.com/net. (This site is in English.)
System Requirements
The .NET Framework can be installed on the following operating systems:
Windows 98
Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)
Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me)
Windows NT 4.0® (Workstation or Server) with Service Pack 6.0a
Windows 2000 with the latest service pack installed (Professional, Server, Datacenter Server, or Advanced Server)
Windows XP (Home Edition and Professional)
You must be running Internet Explorer version 5.01 or later for all installations of the .NET Framework.
To install the .NET Framework, your computer must meet or exceed the following software and hardware requirements:
Software requirements for server operating systems:
MDAC 2.6
Hardware requirements:
For computers running only a .NET Framework application, Pentium 90 mHz CPU with 32 MB memory or the minimum CPU and RAM required by the operating system, whichever is higher.
For server operating systems, Pentium 133 mHz CPU with 128 MB memory or the minimum CPU and RAM required by the operating system, whichever is higher.
Recomended software:
MDAC 2.7 is recommended.
Recommended hardware: For computers running only a .NET Framework application, Pentium 90 MHz CPU with 96 MB memory or the minimum CPU and RAM required by the operating system, whichever is higher.
For server operating systems, Pentium 133 MHz CPU with 256 MB memory or the minimum CPU and RAM required by the operating system, whichever is higher.
How to use -> Restart your computer to complete the installation. No other action is required to run .NET Framework applications. If you are developing applications using the .NET Framework, you can use the command-line compilers or you can use a development environment, such as Visual Studio .NET, that supports using the .NET Framework.
How to uninstall
To uninstall the .NET Framework: Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel (In Windows XP, click Start and then click Control Panel.).
Click Add/Remove Programs.
Click Microsoft .NET Framework (English) v1.0.3705 and then click Change/Remove.
More here http://www.microsoft.com/net/
The .NET topic is being considered for addition to our All Topics link soon, so this may interest you as well:
