[PATCH] Allow log4j in CVS to build using jdk 1.3.1

[Tim Emiola <ki...@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,

Thanks for all the great work on log4j.  I hope this
little contribution saves time at some point (as I'm
sure this things will get ironed out eventually), and
apologise in advance if I've sent this to the wrong
list.

I retrieved the log4j CVS tree to try out the CVS
perspective of Eclipse.  I'm using the jdk 1.3.1 on
Windows 2000, i.e.

$ java -version
java version "1.3.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
(build 1.3.1_01)

I had to make a few small changes to get log4j to
build, as indicated in the attached patch file.  I
checked between the 1.3.1/1.4.1 javadoc and I can
confirm that all the changes are merely cases of new
1.4.1 APIs being used instead of their 1.3.1
alternatives.

Tim

Nope, this is the right list.  Thanks.

I cross checked Tim's analysis, and he's very much correct. (Personally
surprised the Boolean.valueOf was not in 1.3 or earlier) 
Thanks for keeping us in check.   Patch applied.

cheers,

Paul Smith
