Eclipse Logfile Viewer plug-in

While working with Eclipse 3.0 I used for a while a very nice Eclipse log file viewer plug-in which I lost while upgrading from one Eclipse 3.1 milestone to another. I think I also did not need to use one for a while.

Recently again I thought it would be nice to have a log file viewer in Eclipse directly. During my research for a log file viewer I came across a logfile viewer available via http://www.mimo.ch. I installed it on my Eclipse 3.1 and it does a very nice job. What I like especially about the plug-in is the coloring of log statements that match a given string.

Microsoft's answer to Google Maps

I just came accross Microsofts answer to Google maps:

http://local.live.com

I like the google map type better than the one here or in Yahoo. What I like about Yahoo maps is the address book and with local.live.com the printing selection.

If Google would allow to save addresses and to fine tune the printing, it would be my first choice. For now I have to switch between Google and Yahoo maps.
