There's no need to have a ant task for that, you just need to add a
"Main-Class" attribute to the log4j-1.2.x.jar file's manifest indicating
either ChainSaw or LogFactor5 (though I think LogFactor5 may need some
more salt than that).
You can generate a "runnable" chainsaw.jar by using the included
manifest file on the current cvs tree with this command line:
$ jar cvfm chainsaw.jar chainsaw.mf
This will create a jar file containing only the manifest. If it's placed
on the same directory as log4j-1.3alpha.jar it will be runnable with:
$ java -jar chainsaw.jar
If you need any more info/work than this, please say so.
AFAIK, LogFactor5 is an Appender and packaging it on a jar file will
require further work.
