I guess I should just use Maven to keep up jar repository up-to-date locally.  :-)

Hi,
-0.5 on using Maven.  My experience with it has been that it's kind of nice for
generating project documentation, but for most real-life (i.e. complex
dependencies, multiple builders on different environments) projects, the setup
overhead is not worth the benefits.

It is also not as widely used as Ant, and I don't want to raise the bar for our
users who build log4j themselves without a significant benefit.

We should instead keep build.properties.default more suitable for you so you
have very little (if any) manual build.properties updating to do each time.  If
we have managed to do it for Tomcat and other more complicated products (as we
have), we can do it for log4j.
