[ Where did a log message come from ]

what is the easiest way to find out where a log message came from? My log file contains a warning, and I would like to have a look at the code that wrote it. However, NetBeans 6.9 does not make it easy for me to do that. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You could grep within your code for the string in the log file. If you can't find it then search for a substring from within it as it may be build up from many concatenated parts.

Answer 2

A practical approach would be to copy the log message or a part of it, then right-click on your project node and then in the context menu click "Search". Paste your copied text in the search field and see what happens.
