OK, here are the details: Follow the instructions here: http://logging.apache.org/chainsaw/distributionnotes.html
The $user.home/.chainsaw folder will already exist, but you'll have to create the $user.home/.chainsaw/plugins folder and copy the required jars into that folder. I have these jars in my .chainsaw/plugins folder: commons-logging-1.1.1.jar commons-vfs-1.0.jar log4j-chainsaw-vfs.jar You'll need to add the jCIFs jar to that folder Also, under application-wide settings, there is a 'remove security manager' checkbox that you need to check. Restart Chainsaw and it should work. The chainsaw-log tab will contain additional information if you don't see the receiver in the receivers panel or no tab is created containing the events. For those of you using VFS to access ssh-accessible files with the WebStart version of Chainsaw: Add the target server to your $user.home/.ssh/known_hosts file (this requirement is removed in trunk but that version has not yet been released).

A question for Scott. I'm trying to use Jakarta Commons VFS but can't get it to work (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.vfs.VFSLogFilePatternReceiver)! Is there anywhere a straightforward 101 checklist that I can use instead? I have Win2000 installed on the VM (where the log file is) and XP on the workstation with the ChainSaw.
