log4j 1.2.12rc4 missing JMX support

[Curt Arnold <ca...@apache.org>]

log4j1.1.12rc4 was missing the org.apache.log4j.jmx package due to a  
misconfigured location for jmxtools.jar in build.properties.sample.   
I fixed build.properties.sample and added a checks to the release  
target for missing classes due to missing prerequisites.

With the exception of the timestamps in the Javadoc, the log4j build  
does appear to be repeatable.  I was able to delete the logging-log4j  
and logging-site directories, rerun the build script and do a  
difference between the unzipped distributions images and the only  
difference were the timestamps in the Javadoc.  I didn't see an easy  
way to disable the timestamps.  I did not attempt it on another  
machine, but it would be interesting to see if a similar configured  
machine produces identical bytecode, etc.

I've done a little exploration to see if I could come close to  
reproducing log4j 1.2.9.  As previously mentioned, the distribution  
contains LF5 documentation that does not appear to be produced by  
build.xml.  Reproducing the class files has had mixed results with  
some identical and some not.  I have not attempted the comparison  
with JDK 1.2 or 1.4 javac's to see how they fare in reproducing the  
class files.
