Thank you to everyone for their advice and help. I recreated my project with the Ceki's info, but I also:
1) Added exclusion filters for contrib/ and log4jMini/. 2) Added a bunch of external jars, basically the same ones you would list in the build.properties plus junit. Now I only get 3 compile errors related to the avalon logger. I guess I need the avalon jar to resolve those. one little victory, -Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ceki Gülcü" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Log4J Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Log4J Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 11:06 AM Subject: Re: Help! - Eclipse! - Uncle! Mark, I managed to set up eclipse so that I can work with eclipse to compile the code and whenever I chose to so, go to ant to build/compile stuff. In other words, both eclipse and ant compile the same source files and output them to the same directories. Here is how I have done it: I have set up a project called 'log4j-1.3'. Got the files from CVS. In project properties, select 'Java Build Path'. Select the 'Source' tab. I have the following source folders under 'source folders on build path' log4j-1.3/examples output folder" default, i.e log4j-1.3/dist/classes log4j-1.3/src/java output folder: default, i.e log4j-1.3/dist/classes log4j-1.3/src/tests/java output folder: log4j-1.3/tests/classes Do not forget to have the 'allow output folders for source folders' checked I hope this helps. ps: I am on irc.freenode.org:6667 channel #apache-log4j if need be.
