[geclipse-dev] log4j issues / bug 191703

[Markus Knauer <mknauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi *,

when I tried to build a new 3.3 target yesterday, I came across some changes 
in the log4j plugin. I created a local update site with the head version of 
g-Eclipse and tried to install g-Eclipse together with the newest Europa 
update site, starting with a plain 3.3 platform archive. Well, I tried it, 
but it didn't work - and I suspect that it isn't working with the last 
milestone either.

I found out that it was a dependency problem to the plugin 
org.apache.jakarta_log4j. In earlier times this plugin was provided by some 
webtools features, but now it comes from Orbit and seems to have a new name 
org.apache.log4j (which corresponds to the internal package naming). 
Therefore the update manager was unable to resolve the dependencies and the 
install failed.

I updated all plugins and features yesterday, but please add all problem 
reports to bug 191703, if you experience any problems with that change. In 
the next target I will remove the old plugin org.apache.jakarta_log4j.
