Question

Is it possible to filter write to console output in eclipse. I would like to filter log4j debugging from all output. Tks.

Answer 1

Grep Console Plugin can filter the output of the eclipse console to the second view http://marian.schedenig.name/projects/grep-console/

Answer 2

If you want to filter the output of log4j, then you should put the log4j.properties file in your classpath and change the root log only at the information level.

Answer 3

If everything is log4j, you can edit log4j.properties and specify the lowest level of logging. It does not depend on Eclipse. Here's an introduction to log4j configuration:

• http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html

and some more useful links:

I don’t know what your log4j configuration looks like, but you can, for example, specify something like this:

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout 

if you have a stdout application.

Answer 4

Entering console output is not specific to eclipse.It depends on the configuration of log4J.

Although the console settings can be changed in eclipse.

In Eclipse, go to Windows - Preferences - Launch / Dialog - Console

In the Console, you can change the size of the console buffer, the maximum character width, etc.
