RE: Log4J beyond 1.1 -- modify at runtime

What is meant, exactly, by "modify log4j settings at runtime"?  From a
org.apache.log4j.gui.ChangeLoggingDialog within the application being run?
Sending it a SIGHUP to reread the file?  From another VM that talks over a
socket?

Good idea.

Documentation is almost never sufficient but again nobody has time to read
documentation anyway. :-)

Yes, definitely.

A facility to modify log4j settings at runtime is probably the most
important feature that is currently missing. As a corollary, the user should
be able to instruct log4j to spit out the current settings as a config file
(properties or XML).

>- should log4j support i18n? (dunno if it already correctly does)

Localization support is already there. Cheers, Ceki

ps: One other feature we need is to fully integrate one of the JDBCAppenders
in contribs/.
