Ultraedit also works.

If I could threadjack here, I'd like to point out my own gripe with 
windows tomcat logging.  Can we please make it out of the box log all 
stdout stuff to a *single* catalina.out file that doesn't roll over? 
That's a pain.  I like to set up an icon to my log file, but I can't 
because it's always moving.......

My $0.02.
