log4j & DatabaseTaskBase

[Martin van den Bemt <ml...@mvdb.net>]

Was the log4j compile time dependency in DatabaseTaskbase intentional or accidental ? All the rest
of the code doesn't use log4j directly.

Mvgr,

Hi Martin,

yes, that is intentional. The idea is to give users a simple way to
turn on logging/debug, hence the logging for the Ant tasks can be
configured via a property. This means that logging needs to be setup'd
in code (instead of a log4j properties file or something similar), and
since there is no way to do that via commons-logging, I had to
hardcode log4j for the Ant tasks.
I don't see this as a problem though since all Ant tasks are small
wrappers around core functions, so there is no need to use the Ant
tasks themselves from within code.

cheers,
Tom
