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/.
Adding exclusion filters for contrib/ and log4jMini/ should not have been necessary. Do you have 'log4j-1.3' (i.e that name of your project) under Project properties -> Java Build Path? If so, that is probably the reason why you had to add exclusion filters.
2) Added a bunch of external jars, basically the same ones you would list in the build.properties plus junit.
Sounds good.
Now I only get 3 compile errors related to the avalon logger. I guess I need the avalon jar to resolve those.
Yes.
one little victory, -Mark

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.
