Build-Log in Dashboard

Hi,

I've seen this question raised several times in the mailing list and
other places but never found a definitive answer:

In the dashboard on the build detail tab of a build there is a "build
log" tab with a link to download the build log in raw XML format.
There's no other content on this page (dashboard - NOT the classic
reporting application). 

I'd like to see the transformed build log (not the XML) inline on this
tab. Is this possible at all?

Usually the link
http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CC/CustomiseJSPReporti
ng comes up as a response, but AFAIK this does not relate to the
dashboard but to the old reporting application only. 

What I did for now (but deem unsatisfactory) is adding a "View log" link
to this panel, redirecting to the build results page of the old
reporting application. This is my current content of the
webapps\dashboard\WEB-INF\vm\build_detail\build_detail_partial_log.vm
Template:

<div id="build_log" class="widget"  $log_extra_attrs>
    <h2>Build Log</h2>
    <span class="logfile"><a
href="$req.getContextPath()/tab/build/download/log/$projectName/$logfile
">Download log</a></span>
    <p/>
    <span class="logfile"><a
href="$req.getContextPath()/../cruisecontrol
/buildresults/${projectName}">View log</a></span>
</div>

Maybe this workaround can help other people, if there's really no
solution to this problem...

My Setup:
CC 2.8.2 on Windows Server 2008 (Standard Edition, SP1, 64-Bit) without
Jetty (Web-Apps running in Tomcat 5.5.17).
