documentation comment
Ant belongs to the Jakarta project. As does Log4J.
Having used both, it is clear that just because something belongs to the
Jakarta project, does not make it an excellent piece of architecture or be
excellently documented (or half way there).
I won't say anymore for flame risk, but if you compare the two, Ant is
brilliant, super, a delight to use. Its Javadocs are comprehensible, as are
its examples.
Yes Log4J is a nice utility, but its documentation for examples, and
javadocs are incomplete by a fair amount.
My only whine.

You can subscribe to log4j user list in this link:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html
Ask there how you can contribute to the project, as I am only a regular
user.

Ylan,
I'd be happy to, though I would have to spend a good amount of time being
constructive and informative to where I found problems to be. Would you
send me the subscribe and post address please?
Have you looked at the logging api for com.protomatter.syslog?
Comparing the documentation of that to log4j, it's easy to see clear
distinction between documentation levels.

I use log4j also (and ant, othwerwise I would not be in this list :)).
I found the documentation comprehensive, but if you think that it is
defficent I am sure that the people at log4j would be interested in any
contributions on your part to the documentation.
