Read from Console

Can anyone confirm whether it is possible to read what gets printed to the console? It is in reference to a feature request (http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/textplayer/?comment=151) for my plugin TextPlayer. I don't think this is possible but just thought that I should ask more experienced coders.

 

How about reading from the log-file?

 

I guess that would work but I'd rather not have to deal with coding that.

 

Isn't there already a class for reading a log file?

 

You can register a Handler to the default logger with Bukkit.getLogger().addHandler(...) (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/doc...er.html#addHandler(java.util.logging.Handler))

I however don't know whether logging messages from all plugins can be caught using this method, as some plugins use Logger.getLogger(JavaPlugin.class.getName()), Logger.getLogger(plugin.getClass().getName()), plugin.getLogger(), Logger.getLogger("Minecraft"), etc.

 

hmm I'll check that out later, thanks
