Or you can download the executable Java jar files at the following location and install them on your own computer:

This sample XML configuration file matches the default format of log files produced by the Unisys Eclipse Logging plug-in. Create a file containing the following text, changing only the value of the fileURL parameter to the location of your log file. (The path is in the form of a URL.)

The first time you launch Chainsaw
1. On the View menu, choose Show Application-wide Preferences.
2. In the Automatic Configuration URL field, type the URL of this configuration file.
Once configured, Chainsaw displays the current content of the log file, if any, and automatically updates its display as new items are added to the log file.
