> DatabaseTaskBase should hava an option to keep log4j´s configuration untouched. In current version, the implemented behaviour causes conflicts when running ant via its API from, say, a jmx inside JBoss. 
> The symptom is the infamous log4j´s  message "ERROR: invalid console appender config detected, console stream is looping".
> In my private copy of ddlutils, I´ve implemented a workaround by surrounding most of  the code inside the function initLogging() with an "if (  a sensible system property not found ) {  do log4j stuff }".
> Actually, I don´t know why is this code there, anyway... The comment in the code say that you´re forcing console output, but makes no mention about the reasoning behind this decision.
> Should´t log be simply delegated to commons-logging ?
