           Summary: Loader.getResource has broken compatibility with Log4J
                    1.1
           Product: Log4j
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: log4j-dev@logging.apache.org
        ReportedBy: niall.smart@friendsfirst.ie


The signature of org.apache.log4j.helpers.Loader.getResource() has changed
between 1.1 and 1.2.   In 1.1, it is:

    public static URL getResource(String resource, Class clazz) 

In 1.2, it changed to:

    public static URL getResource(String resource)

We are using 3rd party software that relies on the first method signature, so we
see a NoSuchMethodError when using 1.2.   We would like to updated to 1.2 to
make use of the MDC class.   Can a backwards compatibility method be added to
this class?
