Redirect log to command line

I downloaded the openfire source 3.8.1, builded it, and started the server from commandline. The server does provide logs but they are saved in a file, however I want to see the logs more instantly, i.e the command line. Is there any easy way to make that possible?

If you are on a Unix/Linux you can use 'tail -f ’ to follow a file as it gets written. That’s the usual way to monitor log files.
