RE: Customising Chainsaw

Okay, then I guess I'll have to roll my own since I'd like to see different columns for different elements in the message so 
I can sort and filter the logs based on those elements.  But I'll take a look at chainsaw before I start anyway.  Thanks.

On a different note, I hope log4j will start using schemas instead of dtds soon.
