This must be stated as an error. The ServletOutputLogTarget is located
in the jakarta-avalon-logkit repository. Unfortunately the 1.0b2 build
didn't have it included. I'll fix that from a CVS version of logkit.
The velocity jars should not be necessairy. A patch for the build.xml
file to build C2 consistently with out velocity (or any other
unnecessairy jars like fop+jimi, batik, etc).
One approach is to remove a jar and see which classes don't compile. If
they are none of the core classes then it should be possible to patch
the build.xml file to exclude those sources if the aforementioned jar is
not present.
