Endre, JBoss modified log4j to add TRACE. I mentioned this fact here, 11 days ago, without a response from anyone on this list. Why not simply use JBoss' version of log4j, if you require this functionality? You know, not everyone is psyched about Linus' decision-making, but that certainly doesn't stop them from distributing modified versions of the Linux kernel. Some patches get accepted, some don't. Some people complain about it, others write code.
I haven't given any money to the ASF, and I haven't even bought Ceki's book. I may have contributed one tiny patch to this project at some point. I do not feel that I have the right to demand anything of Ceki or the log4j dev's. This list usually has a quite high signal-to-noise ratio. What did the horse do to you? It's dead. Leave it alone. - Matt -----Original Message----- From: Endre Stølsvik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon 11/10/2003 9:57 AM To: Log4J Developers List Cc: Subject: Re: So what happened with trace?

("geronimo-dev") They're using jboss' Trace level extension to log4j as an exhibit - =since apparently also Geronimo is making this extension=!! That's cute; even Apache's internal projects have to extend the log4j package with trace (even the largest such project ever in Apache's Java history?), since the log4j developers/maintainers refuse to add it. So both Jboss and Geronimo have to extend log4j by adding trace - two quite "largish" Java projects. Is that valid as an argument for including that level?
