Description Eccenux 2014-08-27 16:11:15 UTC 
When I clear "Apache Tomcat Log" window the actual log file is not cleared and when I run the application again I get errors from previous run.

This is confusing.

Please either clear the log file or remeber where you've finished and show only new lines.

PS: I did try clearing logs in setenv.bat of Tomcat, but that didn't work. I get message like:
```
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 7.0.34\logs\localhost.2014-08-27.log
```
So a workaround for me would be to have something run before the file is locked.
