You can configure Chainsaw to use an 
org.apache.log4j.varia.LogFilePatternReceiver to process non-xml log files.  

There is also org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.vfs.VFSLogFilePatternReceiver, which 
extends LogFilePatternReceiver's capabilities by supporting the file systems 
available via the Apache Jakarta Commons VFS project (including SSH).

These are both available from the Web Start deploy of Chainsaw, although you'll 
have to add the external jars needed by the VFS receiver to the 
$user.dir/.chainsaw/plugins directory (and bypass the security manager through 
Chainsaw' app preferences).

You can view an example receiver configuration from Chainsaw's Welcome tab.

Subject: chainsaw for non-xml files
 
is there any possibility to run chainsaw on non-xml logfiles?
any plans to do implement something in this direction?
without even taking a look into the source (shame on me) i have the impression 
that with the ConversionPattern it should be possible to do something...

i just think that the xml files are getting way to big =>  i love logging 
*everything* ;-)

cheers
patrick
