getting console output

hi
i am making a plugin that acts as a gui and i am having trouble getting all the console log

this is what i have tried so far:


This gets a few lines of console when starting the server.

Code:java

 
 
                        Handler h = new Handler() {
            @Override
            public void close() throws SecurityException {}
 
            @Override
            public void flush() {}
 
            @Override
            public void publish(LogRecord logRecord) {           
                mainFrame.consolesg(logRecord.getLevel().toString(), logRecord.getMillis(), logRecord.getMessage());
}
        };
                        getServer().getLogger().addHandler(h);

this only gets chat messages

Code:java

 
/*this is in the onEnable*/
System.setOut(new log(System.out, this));
 
/*this is the class "log"*/
package tk.robk.bukkit.gui;
import java.io.PrintStream;
public class log extends PrintStream {
    private main pl;
    public log(PrintStream out, main parent) {
        super(out);
        pl = parent;
    }
    @Override public void print(String s) {
        pl.consolelog(s);
    }
}

i need to capture everything that you can see when you look at the actual console

 

robrobk Is this just an inteface to a console?

no its a gui that will have features such as player management and server management
its similar to a server wrapper except you just have to put it in the plugins folder

this is it so far

post complete source with import section and log as text (not image)

 

Nice idea but im just gonna say, most servers these days are run on hosts. That being so alot of users will not be able to see your GUI (I found this problem out when I made a GUI logger for a server - in my plugin list). There would only be a small amount of people who could actually use this.

It might be better for you to create a java program seperate and connect them using sockets, this would allow remote connection and would mean that owners can see their server GUI even if they are with a host (yes the host would have to open another port for them to use).

Just thought I would add this to help your project

EDIT: why not just read the file? and then check if new lines are added, like every 5 seconds, then add them to the GUI

 

the only reason im making this is because I want it for my server. i dont care about some random person who cant be bothered running their own server


btw good idea with reading the log file

 

Fair enough I was just pointing out a problem which I encountered when I did my plugin, but if its just for your sever not a problem

This is a very interesting plugin and I would love to see it when its done!!

 

robrobk Be bothered as in home hosted or like a VPS/dedicated sort of setup?

 

home hosted
its a server for me and a few friends so i can take it to school as well

 

robrobk In that case, why do you assume that people who don't have gui access "can't be bothered"? :S
