Hi Andrew, You can also monitor your logs in Firefox using our LogDigger library and Firefox add-on. http://logdigger.com/solutions/real-time-java-server-logs-in-your-web-browser
LogDigger currently supports Log4J only but we're releasing v2.0 in the following days which is a complete rework supporting java.util.logging, custom extensions and sending error reports to our BugDigger service for further processing. (We also plan a blog post addressing use on GAE as we use it intensively in this environment.)
