1, log4j integrated plugin overview
(1) strategy
Using separate plugins: A package for encapsulating open source libraries (such as log4j library plugins), one for implementing Eclipse integration (this article is to be introduced). The latter relies on the former.
(2) Main features of log4j integrated plugins
l log4j.properties editor: including syntax color and code assistance
l Logging for log events specifying Socket (default is 4455): Display log events in the table
l Mark the modulator of all Java files that currently use logs
l Pop-up menu item: Automatically add a log to the source code for the Java file
l PREFERENCES of the plugin
(3) Log4j.properties sample
# Assign Appenders to root logger
Log4j.rootlogger = debug, mysocket
# Socket Appender - Make Sure The Port Number Agrees with The
# setting of the log4j preferences.
Log4j.Appender.mysocket = org.apache.log4j.net.socketAppender
Log4j.Appender.mysocket.remotehost = localhost
Log4j.Appender.Mysocket.LocationInfo = TRUE
Log4j.appender.mysocket.port = 4445
(4) Creating a log4j integrated plugin framework
l File> New> Plug-in Project

l Specify the provider name: Nelson_tu
l Click the Finish button to complete the project creation
l Double-click PLUGIN.XML to open the list editor
