Talk about an unexpected use of log4j. You are using it as a communication tool. That
is fine and very flattering but enforces my impression that the TempFileAppender is
not a general purpose extension to log4j. However, as you have probably noticed, it is
now under contribs/ directory in log4j 1.1b4 distribution. I am however -1 on
including TempFileAppender in the officially maintained part of the log4j package.
If you think this is unreasonable, you can try to convince the other committers to
vote otherwise. I am disposed to change my vote to 0, but only if you can find just
one other committer to sustain the motion. Best regards, Ceki
