### activity.log

The activity.log file contains the full text of the activity log. jEdit writes all errors, debugging information, and so on, to the activity log. The last 500 lines can be viewed from within jEdit by invoking View Activity Log from the Utilities menu. Because of buffering done for performance reasons, the activity log file on disk may not always be up to date. To force it to be written out fully, invoke Update Activity Log on Disk from the Utilities menu. Note that when jEdit exits, it automatically performs this step. See Appendix A of the jEdit user guide for more information about the activity log.
