Light Log Viewer
Light Logs is a sub project of the light text editor. The light log viewer is a simple desktop application for viewing log files that are generated by a web server. But it may also be useful for viewing other text files. This application is especially useful for viewing logs generated by a J2EE Servlet container like the Apache Tomcat or a full J2EE Application Server like Weblogic or Websphere.
