log4j 1.2.15_rc2

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

I've put up a log4j 1.2.15_rc2 build with Maven to http:// 
people.apache.org/builds.  I'm not pushing to have a vote on it at  
the moment, but to get any feedback on issues with the build.

Documentation for the build should shortly be at http:// 
logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/.  Distributions are available at http:// 
people.apache.org/builds/logging/log4j/1.2.15.  A maven repo has been  
set up at http://people.apache.org/builds/logging/repo/.  Likely you  
could automatically download the release candidate by adding the  
appropriate repo declaration to your pom.xml.

MD5 checksums are provided, but as these are not a release, no GPG  
signatures are provided.

BUILD-INFO.txt describes the initial Maven setup.  Using Maven  
required switching the build Java compiler from a 1.3 to a 1.4  
(though the bytecode should be 1.1 compatible).  However, I recall  
from years back some earlier problems with supposedly compatible  
bytecode produced by later JDK's not working with very early JDK's.   
I haven't tested the jar with any earlier JVM's, but will expect to  
do so before calling for any vote.
