Use logfile

Normally, messages are only printed to the console or the message view of your IDE, here you can define that all messages should be written to a log file as well. This is most useful when you use Jalopy as part of an automated build process.

Press the Choose... button to select the file you wish to write logging output to.

You can either directly enter a location into the combo box, choose one from the history, or press the Choose... button to display a file chooser that lets you interactively select a file.

Jalopy supports three different log file formats. A custom text format (.log), an HTML format (.html) and a flat XML format (.xml). These formats can only be selected via the file chooser.

Both the custom text format and the XML output are simple flat file formats, but the HTML option produces an hierarchical report similar to that generated by the Javadoc tool.

Please note that this feature can be enabled from the Ant, Console and Maven Plug-ins directly, so it should be normally left disabled here.
