Chainsaw support for java.util.logging file format

For those who may be interested, Chainsaw has been updated to include
support for multi-line log file formats, including the default
java.util.logging file format.

If you want to try it out, the developer snapshot of Chainsaw, in Mac dmg
or zip file format, is available at
http://people.apache.org/~sdeboy

If you want to try out Chainsaw's ability to parse and tail a
java.util.logging-formatted file, follow these steps:

 - start Chainsaw
 - Select the 'File, Load Chainsaw configuration' menu
 - Select 'process a log file'
 - Select the log file you want to parse by pressing the 'Open File' button
and browsing to the file
 - Log file format: TIMESTAMP LOGGER THREAD(LF)LEVEL: MESSAGE
 - Log file timestamp format: MMM dd, yyyy HH:mm:ss a

You may want to check the box at the bottom to tell Chainsaw to always run
with this configuration, or save it off for later use.

Feedback always welcome!
