Chainsaw forces output of its internal messages to console.

           Summary: Chainsaw forces output of its internal messages to
                    console.
           Product: Log4j
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: log4j-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mwomack@apache.org


Main.class contains the following method:

    /** initialise log4j **/
    private static void initLog4J() {
        final Properties props = new Properties();
        props.setProperty("log4j.rootCategory", "DEBUG, A1");
        props.setProperty("log4j.appender.A1",
                          "org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender");
        props.setProperty("log4j.appender.A1.layout",
                          "org.apache.log4j.TTCCLayout");
        PropertyConfigurator.configure(props);
    }

This forces all internal output to the console, disregarding any configuration 
that may have been applied by the log4j.configuration property.  Chris Bailey 
has posted a message on the user list trying to find a way to turn this output 
off.  With the current code, he is stuck.

Suggested solution: Maybe the initLog4J() method should check for the 
log4j.configuration property, and if it exists, do not apply any 
configuration.  If it does not exist, then apply the default configuration it 
applies right now.
