There have been several occasions where we've wanted to switch to a nightly but had to rebuild ourselves because we're locked to log4j-1.1.3. I'd be happy to help set this up if you can point me in the right direction. --Glen > -----Original Message----- > From: Sam Ruby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 9:24 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Log4J date in JAR file name > > > Glen Daniels writes: > > > > Sam?

What you get with the builds that are posted is a consistent set of jars and you can look at the build log to verify that that this is in fact the case. There certainly are other configurations that make sense for people. One of the most obvious is the milestone build (alphas ant the like). This just happens to be something that I build anyway and make available in case somebody else finds it useful. If others feel like posting other configurations, they are certainly welcome to. - Sam Ruby
