Sorry for chiming in so late on this... but you might look to see what progress has been made in the way of various JMX MBean consoles (MC4J for example....) Most of these use the same discussed style of introspection, where the various JMX constructs are introspected dynamically and a UI is rendered that allows interaction with the underlying object. I would imagine that much the same approach could be adapted for log4j....

That being said you would still have the generic vs. specific UI issue to deal with....

...just a thought.

I haven't put enough thought into the specifics yet to know for sure
what I need.

Basically, I need an interface to describe what a gui plugin is, how it
would be called by the app etc. The property editor would be a good
pick here, I think. I don't know yet if I'd use BeanInfo, the
Introspector, or some of the other classes.

Right now I'm just fishing for ideas and opinions. Hopefully sometime
tonight or tomorrow I can get a more detailed spec written up.
